With the next major release of the XOOPS Core (which will be XOOPS 2.1-Dev and XOOPS 2.2-Stable), there will be some (minor) changes to the way XOOPS modules are organised.

The classification Core Modules will no longer be used. This is because these modules are no longer developed by the Core Development Team (exceptions apply, of course), but by the XOOPS Module Development Team. These modules are the ones that come with the default XOOPS distribution, and will be named Official Modules.

The Quality Assureance Team is setting up a series of tests and qualifications that will determine if a module meets a set of requirements certifying that those modules meet the highest quality standards. These modules will get a Certified 'stamp', signifying they passed the test.

Since at this time (june 11th 2004) the Qa Team hasn't created the set of requirements and tests yet, this classification hasn't been implemented yet.

All modules not developed by the XOOPS Module Development Team are considered 3rd Party modules. These modules can also be Certified, and the XOOPS Module Development Team can adopt such a module, thus making it an Official module.
