It is very hard to find useful and robust modules among the miriads of those available today. I suggest to add a ranking system where PN administrators can tag modules with a rank. The best and most useful modules will bubble up as those with highest rank and larger number of downloads.
Can PN Download rating system be used to implement this?

We will discuss something that is called "module certification" during this years pnMeeting. In short this is about going through a checklist and answers several questions about a module. At the end a certification level will be reached (not defined yet) that tells you more about the module in general.

I think somethink like this is very important.
If somebody new evaluates a cms/framework, the available modules are one of the most important thing I think. And for sure it's also important to know how "good" (futere development, documentation, bug free, performance) is. It would also be nice to can write reviews for modules and makeing ratings for different categories.
The available module search page on this site I never understood, maybe Im to dumb, but I don't find one single module with the search form... and going truth the list by pager is not very handy...
On every other CMS site with extensions (joomla, drupal, ...) this is solved defently better, although I never installed antother system then PN ;)

The module database is going to be improved soon. I bookmarked this thread to ensure an appropriate consideration of your suggestions.

As I already said some months ago, I think that a user-based ranking system'd be a good starting point for the module database
So the new users can easly know which are the most appreciate modules.
With a categorization system and a reviews system it'd be really useful

The only problem with rankings is they are a popularity contest over the substance a certification system/process - which would be fine if there were the useful core information there from a certification checklist.
