Maybe we should ask the users of whether this distinction between<br>
modules and core and extensions is really relevant for them, or<br>
whether most are perfectly happy to just install extensions.<br>

Since you are asking :-) , as an user, my main interest is in good<br>
documentation and reproducible examples (which I can than also use to<br>
see if outputs make sense to me as an user). In that respect there is no<br>
inherent difference between core modules and extensions. What is<br>
different is that many (most?) of the core functions are accessible<br>
through the menu. I personally don't find that very important,<br>
especially with the modules tab giving fairly easy access to extensions,<br>
but I can imagine that for new / other users, especially those more<br>
inclined to menu-driven applications, this may make a difference.<br>

Thank you, Paulo, for this feedback.<br>
<br>
This means that finding a means to more easily integrate addon modules into menus might be a task to keep in mind.<br>
<br>
Maybe the startup script could check the .grass7/addons directory and automatically create an 'addons' menu using [1] ? Maybe the mecanism can be changed in a way to just allow to create toolboxes and that these are automatically integrated into the main menu ?<br>
<br>
Just brainstorming, here...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>How about g.extension will create a menu entry based on the modules keywords when it installs the module?
