Listening Session with Ian At DrupalCon Pittsburgh

Good afternoon!

Here is some feedback I had:

Regarding the "results" page: (/admin/modules/browse)

1. I wonder if it would be valuable to have either a category or a filter for "Sponsored" modules. Ideally, modules that are sponsored, funded, or wholly driven by one or more organizations. Perhaps even some kind of iconography on each box that identifies a module is sponsored (not necessarily the logo of a company/s, but a more generic "is sponsored" identifier.)

I feel like it is attractive to a site owner to see a module has the backing of a large organization. It can give a clearer picture of how stable/supported a module is. If a site owner needed approval to install a module, a sponsored module may be an easier sell to a stakeholder.

2. I feel like it would be a simple add to have a reference to the latest version number available of a module somewhere on the box of each result. This may be useful if the "developer recommended" version of a module is a -dev or -alpha or -beta version, which some site owners may wish to avoid.

Regarding the "module details" page: (e.g. /admin/modules/browse/metatag)

1. Sponsoring individuals/organizations would be very useful on this page. They are currently mentioned on drupal.org. Perhaps in the sidebar of this page?

2. Once the module is installed, perhaps this page could have links to the Issue Queue for the module. Possibly even a one-click "Create an issue" button to allow them to immediately jump to creating an issue.

This could have even further potential to pre-populate some of the issue description with information about their site, such as modules installed, PHP version, etc.

3. Direct links to documentation sources would be useful here.
