As you may have read in the past, with the release of PostNuke .8 Final, we plan to have a new downloads interface. We will use Axel's EasyDist module (see a demo here) - enabling you to build a custom package from the ground up, automatically building a compressed archive containing any modules and themes from our extensions database.

Part of this work will involve changing and expanding the extensions database to include new fields. One of these is a category field, which we will use in EasyDist's interface. We could use some help from you defining our category tree - what's the best way to categorise all the modules and themes PostNuke currently has, or might have in the future? We'd like your suggestions; a forum topic to start the discussion is here.

If possible, will it be possible to have a "distribution" category, indeed, you ve said in a precedent post that, we will able to build an broadcast our own distribution of PostNuke.

I think it could be a good idea to centralize all this distribution in one root category (in the same level as theme/module/plugins/blocks)

http://community.postnuke.com/Article2860.htm

More over, is it possible du had a "mod" category (for modification), indeed, for me , this is a mod for bbcode, not a plugin http://community.postnuke.com/module-Database-viewpub-tid-8-pid-21.htm

Thanks

I thinks the actual version

* Modules
* Themes
* Blocks
* Plugins

is a good version, there is no need to have a separation between core and 3rd Party Addons . (or only an other field in Pagesetter).

more over, a field with the license(creative common .GPL ) could be a good idea
