How to Chose Drupal Modules

I chose Drupal modules based on:

1. Function description

2. Module usage statistics: more usage => more popular

3. Module authored by the Lullabots and or authors with high number of commits (like Robert Douglass)

4. Official and recently updated release

5. Recently updated development release

If at the end, you need a tie breaker, see:

  • how quickly reported issues are fixed
  • how many lines of code for feature (small feature should be minimal lines of code).
