The Project Browser Initiative is working on a new page for adding and installing modules. The default display of the Project Browser will show Drupal modules that have a release that is compatible with the version of Drupal the site is using. A card will be displayed for each of the modules (projects). The key components displayed on the card will include a logo, a short description and the categories this module belongs to.

The number of categories was recently reduced from 55 down to 19 to help folks searching for modules to more effectively use the category filter.

First, read through the module’s project page on Drupal.org . If needed, spin up the module on SimplyTest.me or DrupalPod to understand what the module does. Then review the Category Definitions and suggest 1-3 categories for the module. (When in doubt, err on the side of fewer, not more!)

Proposed Categories

  1. Administration Tools
  2. Developer Tools

Four categories are currently listed for Chaos Tools.
1.) Administration, 2.) Developer, 3.) Drush & 4.) Views
As Project Browser will support only Three categories,
I propose that the Administration category be removed as it is the least specific category for Chaos Tools.

I would say that Administration makes more sense as it can provide some administrative interface things (i.e. modals). I vote we remove "Drush" as I intend for that to become an "ecosystem" eventually.

So my counterproposal is:

  • Administration
  • Developer
  • Views

I agree, Drush makes more sense as an Ecosystem than a Category.
I was intimidated from removing Drush only because Chaos Tools was mentioned several times in the Drush Documentation.

Postponed until a new smaller list of Categories is finalized.
