Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Hello again

[Don S. <do...@se...>]

I'm just wondering how would boost know of other modules?

Scenario:

Joe Blow downloads phpws 0.9.0.  Will boost have a button for installing, 
say, my fantasy football module?  Just wondering if module developers 
should "register" their modules with a central repository.  I think I 
brought this up before and would like to know how this is going to be 
handled.
