Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Currently there is no way to feature an ecosystem on drupal.org. There are a lot of modules in contrib that have a bigger ecosystem but no way to feature it on the project page.
Modules like Search API, group, og, commerce, and others have these kinds of ecosystems of dozens of modules related to it.
A page with something like the strategic initiatives would be an ideal solution for this. It would probably also contain similar information.
This should probably be a part of the documentation initiative: https://www.drupal.org/about/strategic-initiatives/documentation
---
Usecases we are targeting to improve:
- Finding modules in an ecosystem more easily, to create visibility for all the specific solutions on drupal.org, in an informative and easy way.
- Having an easy way to see how different modules interact, extend/improve each other and/or conflict

kristiaanvandeneyndeI know we're not supposed to +1 anymore, so: "hear hear". :)
It would be nice to have these pages that tell you: "If you want to use more complex search, have a look at this page.", "Want to set up a community, look here.", etc.

legolasboA page like this would also be very helpful for determining which modules can be used with each other and which modules directly conflict with each other. This could save people lots of trial and error when trying to implement solutions within a certain ecosystem

joachim commentedI suggested this for d.org 7 years ago: #1323826: Make it easier to identify and discover ecosystem modules.
There's even a patch for the d.org module too. It's RTBC. It just needs to be committed and deployed to d.org.

borisson_While that looks really cool, it looks like that only gives projects the ability to tell what ecosystem they belong to, but no way for the bigger ecosystem to have some kind of (curated) landing page.

IIRC it adds a view of ecosystem modules, linked to from each project page.
Curated is not ideal IMO - we could already have curated ecosystem pages in module documentation on d.org, but they don't get updated.

quietone commentedI think should be in
Comment #9
borisson_I think this is mostly already done by the field mentioned by @joachim, so I think we can close this issue.
