I'd like to compile a list of modules that use Views heavily (examples: Flag, Views Bulk Operations, Views Attach, Views Reference) with a blurb about each of them. The blurb would contain a neutral description of what they do, and then a non-neutral comment on the quality and maintenance level of the modules. Obviously the latter is a judgment call and I don't expect it to be completely dead on, but I would like to note projects that are well known to rarely get bugs fixed. Another comment might be known usage levels, some of which can be gleaned from the shiny new usage statistics.

Do you want it to be private until a later point? If not, how about a wiki page on gdo?

Some tips about modules that might qualify are nodequeue and radioactivity. Perhaps CCK and many of it's companion modules qualifies as well?

Existing list?

Interesting! How does this differ from the existing "Views" category on d.o, however? Presumably those are all Views-dependent modules. What's the threshold for this list and how does it differ?

Anyone can categorize their module as with the Views tag but what does it really mean? That they support the Views API? And even if the list is the same, that still leaves all the questions I'm asking about the modules.

Views Popup

I need to get an account on GDO but will add my Views Popup module to the list once I do. I did have a couple architecture questions about Views 2 as some bugs in my module have arisen that have to do with interaction with the internals of Views. Drop me an email note if you could. Thanks.

FYI, that last post is clearly spam, and I don't see a rel="nofollow" on the link.

Thanks, I hate those spams where they just copy/paste already given comments. They're hard to spot.
