  • How to make modules both discoverable but also ensure they're not malicious?
  • Creating a "approved" list of modules may be difficulty to maintain and may lead to problems if a module is misidentified
  • Is a simple warning system enough?

  • All modules are installed with a health warning
  • Modules are discoverable by a simple naming convention (om.., "outsider" label)
  • Modules can be advertised through other means, there is no requirement for modules to be strictly light-weight and following the naming conventions. They can be whole R packages. They just won't be automatically discoverable.
