In the same way in our Drupal Installation we can see what modules are required for a specific module and what module use a specific module.

Could be good idea put couple blocks in a project page to show how modules are tied, because can provide to site builder an idea how strong are modules and how get examples about how to integrate this module in a custom implementation.

For instance in services module/project page, could be good idea check in what way services module is implemented by other modules.

As luck would have it, there's a module that already runs on d.o that knows all the project dependencies (mostly so that automated testing works). That'd be the place to be generating these kinds of blocks.

Dww.

Cool if I understand that module calculate module dependencies, that module calculate what modules depens of current module?

My idea is have two new blocks in the right area called: THIS MODULE DEPENDS OF and THESE MODULES DEPENDS OF ME

Yeah, I understand what you're suggesting. But now that I'm looking, this is duplicate. See #1299240: Expose the dependencies on the project page. Please follow that issue instead of continuing to discuss it here. Thanks.
