It sounds like we are waiting for...
a new Modules repository site
a new "MyModules" module
So my first question is, do we need to wait for these things or can we move forward by adding categories to the existing downloads module? (If we can move forward with the current downloads module, I would happy to tweak templates, add categories, etc. at the repository site).
My other question is about workflow. I assume this is the process, but, I want to double check. (I assume this is how it works now at xoops.org in general).
1. Developer creates a module and uploads it to the repository.
2. An admin reviews the description of the module and makes sure it is in the correct category.
3. Admin approves the module for inclusion in the repository, where it is available for download while it waits for additional certification.
4. Once certified, its status is updated by the admin team to indicate certification.
So the categorized list might look like this:
Modules : Content : Articles
Tutorials Rating Downloads *(Certified)*
Summary Description
WFSections Rating Downloads *(Certified)*
Summary Description
MyArticles Rating Downloads
Summary Description
YourArticles Rating Downloads
Summary Description
Then, when the user selects a title, the detail view might look like this:
Modules : Content : Articles
WFSections *Current Version* []Download Now ZIP/TAR[]
Rating #Downloaded File Size Submit Date
Description:
This is a smarty-enabled module that lets you (describe what it is and what you might want to use it for).
