It looks like everyone wanted to say "yeah, I like all those modules" and thought that not voting was good enough. I guess it was, because I'm now pushing all the candidate modules through to the next stage: elimination. In this round, contestants will parade in swimsuits will reciting the Declaration of Independence and playing the theme from "Happy Days" on a toe piano. No. This time I want to see which modules you think should be taken out. Reasons might include: I don't like the author, the module is half-assed, nobody cares about the problem the module solves, there's a better way, licensing issues with associated libraries, or general whimsy. You don't have to say why you want the module out, at this point. Just send me mail saying which you want removed. Next week we'll go through and debate, module by module, whether to remove them. As you can tell, I'm keen to avoid the go-nowhere p5p-ish "sucks! does not! does! does not! does! ..." class of debate.
