Historically, one of the major problems on drupal.org is comparing multiple modules that all do similar things. See results of a survey of drupal.org users.
This group was created with multiple purposes around finding duplicate modules, analyzing their similarities/differences, and seeing if there is room for collaboration between them. Some times there are good reasons to fork a module, or similar looking projects can be very different when you actually use them, sometimes modules get released simply because people couldn't find what they wanted, or because they didn't realize they could file a patch instead.
Please use Wiki pages to post comparisons of projects which seem to be duplicates so they can be updated and expanded by other group members.
This group won't be dealing with module metrics and rankings - because that group already exists: http://groups.drupal.org/module-metrics-and-ranking it's about dealing with the 4000+ projects we have already, and hopefully leading to new and fruitful relationships between contrib developers.

Comparison of combined Tweaks modules
Last updated by lpalgarvio on Thu, 2010-09-23 02:26
Comparison of combined Tweaks modules:
- Fix Core - contains many important tweaks/fixes in a single module.
- Util - contains a lot of tweaks and utilities, split into many many submodules.
- Drupal tweaks - contains a lot of tweaks and utilities, in a single module, with a few optional submodules.
- Database tweaks - DB tweaks only. deprecated; merged into Drupal tweaks.
- All in one mini-features - contains a few tweaks. superseded by other modules like Development.
Comparison of Permissions page enhancers - mass checkers
- Check Heavy UI - adds "check all" checkboxes for both columns AND rows. does not have an official release, but there's a development release.
- Permission Select - adds "check all" checkboxes for columns. the javascript code is really slow.
- All Permissions - a lot more limited.
- Better Permissions - a lot more limited.
Comparison of Menu delegation/Administer Menu permission modules
module comparison:
- Menu Permissions - allows giving roles the ability to administer certain menu groups (and by result their menu entries). it's simple as it only adds a new permission per menu group. requires giving the "Administer Menus" permission, which means users can rename the menu group.
- Menu Admin per Menu - allows giving roles the ability to administer certain menu groups (and by result their menu entries). it's simple as it only adds a new permission per menu group. IMO, it's a "better version" of the previous, because unlike the previous, it DOES NOT require giving the "Administer Menus" permission.
- Delegate Menu Administration - allows giving roles the ability to administer certain menu groups and their menu entries. it's complex because it allows giving permissions by menu group and menu entry. unrecommended unless you require that particular feature.
A way to taxonomy index all modules..?
I'm sorry that I've missed this group adding to this topic:
Years looking for very difficult to find modules, but now there is a way? - http://groups.drupal.org/node/94284
Having modules indexed to its feature, is the basic start of our problem here; finding similar modules..!
Then one could enter other tables (or click-able tables within a table-field??!) to get more details.

There are video hosting solutions for people who want to "roll their own" and encode/host locally and then solutions for people who need to host commercial videos, and don't want to mess with encoding/bandwidth locally. In these cases an external commercial provider (i.e. not Vimeo) is appropriate. Let's compare solutions.

Group organization, streamlining, jQuery 1.8/1.9, JavaScript, AJAX, jQuery Eye Candy, etc.
Hi,
actually I don't know the differences between AJAX, JavaScript and jQuery. But before answering here, maybe a wiki page is missing and could be mentioned in the group description?
In many groups such info lacks in the description. Yes I'm familiar with groups, but from Yahoo and the Dutch http://Clubs.nl (they WERE the first & the best, Yahoo bought the software and made a cut down version for its groups). So I'm not that happy with the features and design of Drupal groups, but that's another issue...

Moderation modules
This is related to, but not the same as Moderating Revisions. Both have the concept that a node created or edited by an untrusted user moves to a moderation queue until an admin can review it. Revision moderation displays an older, approved revision of a node after an untrusted user makes an edit. Moderation is simpler, as it doesn't have the feature of a visible older revision: the edited node simply goes back to the earlier moderation queue state.
Some features of moderation that some but no all moderation modules have:

Read moreFacebook Modules
There are several Drupal packages that allow various levels of integration with Facebook. I know that many developers like myself have been looking for a reliable package to integrate Facebook with their Drupal sites. For a while there were orphan projects and little development, but in the past couple of months there has been progress on multiple fronts. Last week's introduction of Facebook's social plugins and the revamping of their API will likely make Facebook connectivity ubiquitous across the web, making these modules crucial for Drupal.

- CiviCRM is a standalone system that works in part with Drupal. It is the oldest and most popular module in this space. There are also a lot of other modules providing civicrm related features
- Party defines an entity that represents parties, that is, people or organizations. The Party module is thus the core of a planned Drupal CRM.
