The modules page in Drupal has always been one of a handfull of pages that I consider flat out embarassing for us.

In the old days, i.e, back in Drupal 4.6 when I started, it was nothing more than a collection of modules, ordered alphabetically, with checkboxes. Drupal was small enough that this wasn't really that much of a problem. And then modules like ecommerce and CCK came along with these large collections of modules and nobody could find anything.
