Please: [Cross-posted at other Module issue page]

I seek help in deciding which module I should use,
or whether I might have occasion to need both modules.

Looking at the projects pages I cannot determine the difference between these two,
and I am additionally concerned about whether using both will cause conflicts.

My first thought is that the existence of both of these modules
in simply another example of a violation of Drupal's primary co-operation ethos
discussed in paragraph one of "Joining forces with others and co-maintaining projects"

The Drupal community follows the ethos collaboration rather than competition. Too often new modules are contributed that do nothing new; instead, they only do it in a different way. We are then stuck with two modules that offer nearly similar functionality, ... This leads to confusion, clutter, and a lot of inefficiency.

Assuming I am wrong and that there are notable differences,
would you please be so kind as to delineate here for me
what makes this module different from the other.

I would also appreciate, if you have the time and detachment,
your listing of any (if any) suggested additional complimentary modules
on your projects page with brief opinions/ explanations of their functionality.

Thanking you in advance, and wishing you all the very best...

Does "Organic Groups" encompass and provide (or will it eventually provide)
all of the features of both "Simple access" and "Content access"

If not, what features would I lack with OG:
1.) That SimpleAccess would provides.
2.) That ContentAccess provides.

Thanking you now for your help; now. :o)

Note: I am using Domain Access and tested both Content Access and Simple Access (and also Deny Access). Only Simple Access appears to work at this time. Most content assess modules seem to conflict with Domain Access.

If you are not careful, all access modules conflict with each other, even simple access.

I was very careful to make it so that simple access can be used as secondary access method, so that you can use it with Organic Groups as others.
