It seems for me that things are getting complicated and I'm not shure that a module plattform will be successful. When we use the wiki to collect modules like wik proposed earlier, wie can find out how good the idea of module contribution is accepted by the community. So I propose to set up a wiki page where people can list the modules they would like to provide and modules they need. If we have enough contibutions, we'll find a way how we can do it.
