[E-devel] Merge some E-MODULES-EXTRA in e/src/modules, remove some?

[Gustavo S. B. <bar...@pr...>]

Hi all,

As far as I know, the following modules are maintained, solid and
useful (to their extent) to be merged in e/src/modules, being declared
as "official and trustworthy":

  - notification (I use and maintain it)
  - tclock (actually we should merge it with official clock)
  - places

not "useful" per se, but it is for eyecandy and harmless:
  - flame
  - penguins
  - rain
  - snow


The following modules I have no clue on their state, but I see that
many people use them, so I want to know your opinion:
  - efm_nav
  - efm_path
  - efm_pathbar
  - drawer
  - configmenu
  - deskshow
  - calendar (i dislike it, it could be much improved WRT eyecandiness
and usefulness, with month calendar and maybe some integration with
online services to highlight special dates/holidays and show your busy
status)


The following modules must be merged between their variations, with
the resulting module being possible to be merged in tree:
   - forecasts, eweather, weather: why 3 modules to do the same thing?
choose one and ditch the others, merging useful features of them.
eweather is currently too big UI-wise, but its libeweather seems nice
and useful. So have a smaller/smarter UI for eweather and remove the
others?
   - photo/slideshow: they seem to do the same thing, could they be merged?

I don't know about the following, are they useful (in which way) are
they maintained (who)?
   - alarm
   - cpu
   - diskio
   - emu
   - execwatch
   - iiirk
   - language
   - mail
   - mem
   - net
   - news
   - taskbar
   - tiling (I bet this one is not maintained, and what it does can be
replaced by illume2's policies)
   - uptime
   - winselector
   - wlan

These are dead and replaced by other alternatives:
   - bling (replaced by e/src/modules/comp)
