Extensions Index

As of 3-21 the list sits at roughly a (+/- (5)) state for additions and removals. Unsurprisingly the last few require a little extra mulling over to be sure. Gadgets & Widget lists are underway to link up with the modules & work towards a final determination on the question of:

for a given functionality... extension(?)->(forked?), module(?)->(forked?), widget(?), gadget(?) ->forked(?) and if there's any combination thereof. Gadgets are user opt-in and while desirable are not ideal for critical site functions.

It generally goes...

1. Module (Internally consistent lua modules are the best answer to most problems. Extensions are more powerful and require external maintenance.)
2. Extension (Tons of variety and powerful but entirely beholden to the goodwill of others. Fork the best, contribute to the worthwhile.)
3. Widget (with testing)
4. Gadget (lacking context)
