It would be great if a list of modules with descriptions was created by someone who knows many/most of them. For example, xoopsShop sounds interesting, but I can't discover much about it unless I download, unzip, and read the (hopefully) included readme files. This seems like a lot of wasted effort, as I'm sure others have gone throught the same process with the same modules.
It seems like the options are:
1) invest a lot of time into a possibly fruitless search for a useful module.
2) possibly re-invent a module that someone else has already taken the time to write.
Either way, this wastes time that an admin or dev could be using to improve a module or their own site. This seems like such an obvious need I'm rather surprised it hasn't been addressed by an XOOPS (meta)module to track available modules.
