Would probably reword this to something like '... can you extend the functionality easily?' since the term 'module' is either ambiguous or has actual CMS-specific meaning. – Bobby Jack Mar 15 '12 at 11:52

Aren't we supposed to avoid creating lists? Why do people think this would be a good question? – animuson Mar 23 '12 at 23:26
On the WordPress SE, we don't do plugin/theme recommendations (see wordpress.stackexchange.com/faq). I think that should be a rule here too. – Camil Staps Mar 13 at 17:37

This question does not relate to the topic of the proposal.

The answers would have something to do with content > area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/15215/… or SEO > webmasters.stackexchange.com – Knu Feb 3 '11 at 17:23

IMO it's not specific enough (and "best" always leads to subjective answers) – Knu May 17 '11 at 13:03

How about what CMS allows you to create email templates (like page, post) and then publish those to a list. In essence allowing for your website to become your publishing hub for all your digital marketing. – Chris Kluis May 17 '11 at 14:39
