I also think to a think like that before... Actually, module's folders have a module.xml file (in module/config). So I think : * Add some tags like : <todo>, <changes>,<improvement>,<howtouse>,<roadmap>, and other essential thinks to have a "dev status" of a module * Dev can update this file and push it in the svn * Official site have a modulestatus module : ** this module browse the svn branch repository and create/update module's pages on Lenya site. Such a think could be simple for dev : they just have to use their "lovely" code editor, and very cool for end-user : all possible modules are accessible with one "finger on the mouse" and with no "technical" questions.
