I think it may be an idea to have a rethink on how the module section here is presented. Its great we have categories and sorting by date, we can subscribe to issues and all but its never apparant what has changed since the last revision of a module when its uploaded and packaged.
Take for instance the events module. I click on modules, then browse by date and see that the events module (which i use) has been updated today (june 24). So i wonder what has been updated but can't find out.
This particular module comes with a changelog but this hasn't been updated since May 25th 2005 so no clues there either :(
I think that we need to include changelogs on changes so that us admins can track whether we should upgrade the module (thus meeting a new need or squashing a bug we have encountered) or not. Granted this is extra work on the maintainer but i feel this is much needed for us to make informed choices. There seems little point releasing a shiny new addition to a module if the people who use it are unaware of its existance.
Regularly you'll see modules updated with little to no clue what has indeed been put into place. Your views on this would really be appreciated.
Module description
Again i feel that this area sometimes needs work. Many a time i've downloaded a module and tried it on my beta platform only to find its not quite what the description explained.
