404 - Allow the ability to flag one project as a module for another

What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?
Allow the ability to flag one project as a module for another one. Useful in cases where one project is designed to be extended and another written by a different author is designed to latch onto the first. Examples would include FuBar or Grid.

It would show up on the project page and on curse as a link to the host project.

Please provide any additional information below.

Should have the ability to flag either another project on CF/WowAce or a URL in case the main addon is only officially hosted elsewhere.

As you can now mark a repository as dependant (or optionally dependant) on another, and there are proper relationships and reverse relationships views, I'm marking this as fixed.

Hmmm, I just filed this ticket: http://www.curseforge.com/projects/curseforge/tickets/1057-search-by-library-addon-association/
It's quite close in spirit to this ticket, but I think it's complementary. I agree that being able to tag projects as modules or extensions in this way would be very useful.

Orion, I disagree. FuBar plugins or Grid plugins should NOT use the same bug tracker and project homepage as Grid. A simple link between "core" and "plugin" projects would be sufficient; WoWInterface already handles this nicely.

yeah, listing modules on the main project page would be very nice. maybe there should be some author approval process tho.

"Modular Projects" should, IMO, be legitamate components of the project itself using the same bug tracker and project home page, but sectioned off and clearly marked to the extent that it's not an offical / core component of the parent project.
