>  Dear Vtiger Team and All other list members,
>
> There are several good examples how to organize module install manager.
> Please look at the Joomla! project solutions:
>
>
>
> This approach can be utilized by the vtiger project also.
> In the Joomla! project you can find a method to
> - install from the web (e.g. from the vtiger store)
> - install from package (this method was used in earlier vtiger version),
> the package can be placed in a directory or in a URL
>
> and there is a method to install extension by Discover.
>
> For the vtiger - counting future demands - would be very useful:
>
>    - possibility to install from vtiger store
>    - possibility to install from package
>    - possibility to install by bootstrap string (for developing using
>    vtlib API)
>    - or possibility to install by CLI
>
> And should be there a possibility to Update all earlier installed
> extensions.
>
> I do not suggest to close any earlier used possibility to install
> extensions into vtiger.
> By my opinion the install from store possibility should be an extra over
> the earlier used methods but not a replacement.
