Right, but does your proposed structure have a Post model in every
module that would need it? Or are the modules self contained and not
overlapping at all?
Using plugins as standalones that you tape together with the primary
app is one way of using them. Another is to think of them as mini-
apps you can use to build a larger app. There have been numerous
steps taken to allow you to easily use plugin models/helpers/
components/behaviors in your primary app. To me the plugin wheel is
quite round and works. I'm not saying your module plan is unsound, I
just don't understand the reasons behind it.
