Create a option to mark modules as related or other modules you might be interested

There are many modules that people are unlikely to find, because if you don't know they are there, you just are not likely to look in the right place.

I'm currently experimenting with SEO Meta Tags. I think it would be great if the MetaTags module had a list of related modules. In Drupal land, some module maintainers would list other related modules. In Backdrop, this occasionally happens in Readme files. But, I think it would be nice if any BackdropCMS editor could create "Related" links between modules.

There are probably more complicated search options for making this happen, but I think it would be relatively easy to add a reference field on projects and allow site editors to manage these links. Some "related" links would be better than none.

I think there are members of our community who are not comfortable in the issue queues, but would love to help manage something like this on BackdropCMS.org.

This would severely limit who can add related projects. We have a lot more maintainers and contributors than we do editors on the site, so I think we should encourage people to use the module's README file, short-term.

Longer term, this might be one of the items we add to the list of .info file improvements. If maintainers can add these to the .info file, it's possible we could import them iwhen the project nodes are created
