Hi,

I dislike the idea of a new web page for install yast modules. Much
probably no one will note this and use it, because the users will not
know that there are other yast modules than the ones installed by
default. Thats the main reason of this new module.
...

Another possibility would be to have a new section in yast-sw-installer
which only deals with yast modules. Or to create a new module that only
lists not yet installed modules.

In any case, I would keep yast as simple and clean as possible.
Introducing (dimmed) icons to the regular sections contradicts the
effort that has already been made to make yast slicker. Sadly, this task
was only begun for 11.0.

And that's actually the case, I've created *new* YaST Control Center group that lists them, they're not listed in the same groups with the already installed YaST modules.

Stano has (personally) pointed out that we could even change YaST Control Center to use tabs: one for installed modules (the same way it does now) another for not yet installed ones (using the current groups but with dimmed icons).
