The periodic table of Drupal modules [infographic & wallpapers]

Cool!
This is the sort of thing that would make an awesome tshirt or poster for a fundraiser for the Drupal Association. If this IS available for purchase in those formats, please let me know. If it's not and you agree, I'd be happy to donate some time to set up a posterburner or printfection store.
This is awesome! Minor complaint: too bad there's a lot Drupal 6 modules there that are no longer applicable :(
This is a great idea, and I agree with Jerry Witt, if it was to be printed on tee-shirts I would wear it ;-) Very helpfull metrics about the Drupal cms AND classy, thanks !
Okay, so who's going to write the Drush extension that lets you download modules by their two-character PTOM symbol? :)
A beauty! Would it be an idea to add an indicator for the drupal version supported in one of the free corners? Would make it look even more like Mr Mendeleev's...
Thank you for releasing this cool poster! It was IMHO one of the creative highlights at this Con!
Having a new Poster above my desk. :)
Were you only including Drupal 7 modules? I ask because I don't see the D6-only Nodewords listed and it currently ranks #42 on the official chart: http://drupal.org/project/usage
@Damien McKenna: Yes, we only included modules which have a Drupal 7 version. Unfortunately Nodewords didn't make the periodic table for that reason.
@Dirk Ruediger: Thank you for the compliment. We would love to see a photo of the poster on your wall.
@Edgard Stultjens, Jerry Witt & cms metrics: Thank you for your suggestions. We'll keep your feedback in mind.
a very great and creative idea i must say. i have some small modules of mine too but the are not in the top 100 :)
Great idea. I am also ready to wear the tshirt. This is going to be my first tweet. :-)
Great, great, great! One thing, though: I move that Context be moved up, right there next to Panels. That should do it.
I don't think you understand what a periodic table of elements is. It's not just a table of elements sorted by value, it's also a grouping of elements on type.
This makes it hard to read, doesn't give the relative popularity - only a ranking, doesn't give both shortnames and long names, and doesn't have any descriptions of the modules.
@Alice: Thank you for your feedback. Be assured that we are aware that Mr. Mendeleev's periodic table is by far more complex than our initial version with the Drupal modules. We will keep it in mind for future editions of the periodic table of Drupal modules.
Hi,
We sell T-Shirts, mugs and such on-line. We'd like to make a page of products with the Drupal Periodic Table. Would that be OK?
Thanks,
Pete
This is brilliant. Well done guys! A great tool for developers. Hope you can get involved at our forthcoming DrupalCamp North West UK @drupalcampnw
@Pete: We do not intend to create commercial products with the periodic table of Drupal modules ourself nor do we envisage third parties to create them either. For further questions feel free to contact me via e-mail: daniel [at] amazeelabs [dot] com.
@stephvhosny: Although the prospect of Mancuian rain would appeal to some of our team members, Manchester isn't down the road from us. Good luck with the DrupalCamp.
Great graphic, poor copy. There are no degrees of uniqueness. Something is unique or it isn't. You want to say "...used to create some of the most unusual web sites..." or "most compelling" or whatever. You can also say "...used to create unique web sites..." Yes, I understand people will say I'm picking nits (or gnits), but if your copy was code it would fail regression testing or at least get kicked back on style problems.
@mbouchard58: Thank you for pointing it out. Rest assured that we will adapt the copy in the next version of the periodic table of Drupal modules, accordingly.
Nice job, I like it :)
It would be nice if there is a dark version ;)
Good post. I will be experiencing some of these issues as well.

Very useful infographic. I have discovered some new modules from looking at it. I going to test some of the out. Periodic table is a great idea, it reminds me of my chemistry days at school.
Love it! Definitely the t-shirt for me in NZ this coming summer. Can I have permission to print a few off and give them as client Christmas gifts, crediting you of course?.
AWesome work mate!!! Really incredible.. what a person even to conceive of such a thing.. amazing!!!
@Simon: As mentioned in a previous comment, we do not intend to create commercial products with the periodic table of Drupal modules ourselves nor do we envisage third parties to create them either. For further questions feel free to contact me via e-mail: daniel [at] amazeelabs [dot] com.
Such an awesome and creative idea. I love it. Definitely drupal guys are most innovative. This is the best way to promote a great platform Drupal

I'm not certain if this is the proper category to put this, but I have a serious question.
I had my 2nd little one about 4 weeks ago, and I really want to lose weight. I've already lost 27 of the 30 lbs I put on throughout the pregnancy, but I'm really anxious to get started on losing the weight that I never lost after after having my 1st child. I will definitely wait until my 6 week check with my doctor before I start an exercise regimen, but I want it to go quickly. Any suggestions or advice?.

Modules are the basic structural elements of the Drupal web sites we build. As in chemistry, every one of them has specific characteristics. To help the rookies of our Drupal Community get a quick overview and the experienced site builders remember the basic modules, we created the Periodic Table of Drupal Modules. Each of the 106 most popular modules is featured it’s own square, with its name, symbol, and ranking, based on the number of downloads from Drupal.org.
The Periodic Table of Drupal Modules was introduced as a limited edition poster at DrupalCon Munich. By popular demand we decided to provide three additional versions for the community.
