Proposal - Don`t add one thing by default.. let it download everything the user wants

[BioALIEN]

This is a very good idea. Here are other things to consider also:
1) The core package will be small and easy to maintain, faster to download and simpler to install.
2) Other developers can specialise in building their own modules (commercial/gpl) so the control panel software receives attention from both sides of the online world.
3) Translations (among other things) can be maintained by individuals and these can then be installed through the control panel software.
4) Less problems with the core package, less time on support and more community involvement as module maintainers support their user base via the forums.

This spreads the word quicker about your control panel and encourages community communication.
