  I've been talking with Ben Birney, who has authored several modules since 2005. He is moving on career-wise, and he isn't planning on spending any more time developing them. Most of these modules aren't well known since they aren't in the Cozi, although some have been announced over the years in the extensions database. He has sent me the modules.
  
  I myself don't know much about these modules, other than Survey Manager, which I like/use/depend on. I will be maintaining Survey Manager unless someone else really wants to. The other modules are:
  
  "Member Manager", a module that I gather allows you to charge for ecommerce/site sign up with some other features.
  
  "EventStore" for calendar/event management with ecommerce.
  
  "TAG" (The Almighty Gadget) seems to be a simple end user defined structured content(?). Maybe a simplified pagesetter/pagemaster? Don't know but sounds intriguing.
  
  "TinyPay" is supposed to be a simplified ecommerce module to replicate paypal type functions, but with real pay services like authorize.net.
  
  All these modules have a dependency on a custom utility library that needs to be installed in the site root folder.
  
  Based on my knowledge of SurveyManager these modules are nicely done but in someways not compliant. For example, there was never any intention of usage other than English so templates just have text typed in. And curly braces aren't used the normal Zikula way. There may or may not be other stuff like this.
  
  What should I do with these? I intend to put Survey Manager in Cozi once I have a chance to clean it up a bit. What about the others?

  Let's create Cozi projects for them and get them uploaded as a first step to getting them adopted. Mail me with the project names.

  Do you have a Cozi user name? Are you able to check these modules in? If not, please email a zip of these. I assume there is no version control history we can import?
  
  Mail me drak @....
