Description

Instead of just reporting that a module is missing would it be more helpful,I wonder, to provide a link the the module page at drupal.org or direct download link where a module is not present in the current drupal installation similar to that of issue tracker.

This would be particularly useful to encourage people to start using the installation profiles technique since to realise their power you first need to gather together all the modules for the profile you are playing with. When I first started I downloaded them all and it took a while to get going.

I have just watched your presentation at Barcelona and would like to thank you for saving me days of time by using installation profiles, great work!

Sorry, this is not applicable to the Install Profile API. Please search against core for against the install profile installer.
