I would prefer just a straight list of installed modules rather than trying to determine which modules are ‘core’ or ‘essential’ since this will change over time and change between users and use-case. If possible as @nchaveiro mentioned on github we should avoid hard-coding module names. Would it be possible just to list the folder names in Modules folder? I think we should list the module / folder names regardless of .git files since a user may have a custom module which is not on github or has not been cloned.
The only thing that is currently indicated is whether the module is a separate module or not (ie it’s in bold if not part of the main emoncms/emoncms repo) which was the intended purpose of the feature when I suggested it. Since @Andy_Taylor has revised it there is no longer any distinction made on what is considered “core” or “essential”, or how it is installed.
