scalability

We are driving ourselves crazy, folks. Choosing modules is really hard. And it's only getting harder on enterprise Drupal sites (and enterprise just means big teams and with big sites with big requirements).

A recent conversation on twitter started by Drupal rock star Katherine Bailey shows how module selection on a big site can drive you crazy:

So, today I'm going to lay out some ideas I've found for reducing the madness: choosing good modules both as an individual and as a member of an enterprise Drupal site. Of course the enterprise practices build on the set of guidelines for an individual site builder. I'd love to get feedback on other techniques people have used for module selection in big team, big site, enterprise environments.
