-# Modules
-
-Almost all of the front end's functionality is contained in small,
-separate modules that reside in the directory tree beneath
-`plinth/modules`.  Some are installed by default, some are
-required for operation, and some are entirely optional.
-
-## Installing and Loading Modules
-
-Eventually, the goal is for module to be separate Debian package so
-installation is as simple as `aptitude install freedombox-foo`.  As an
-intermediate step, we'll start scripting module installation.  But
-until then, we can install them manually.
-
-A Plinth module is a Django application with some additional Plinth
-specific extensions.  To enable a module, create a file containing its
-Python module path into `data/etc/plinth/modules-enabled/`.  During
-installation, this file will be copied to
-`/etc/plinth/modules-enabled/`.  The file in `/etc` will be read during
-normal execution of Plinth.  The file in `data/etc/` in the source code
-directory will be used when running Plinth under the run-without-install
-mode.  Plinth will read the module path from the file in one of these
-paths during start-up and configure Django to use it as a Django
-application.  With this approach, you can install your Plinth module
-anywhere on the system and use it in Plinth (just like in Django).
-
-TODO: automatically prune dead links to clear out old module installs.
-This is something the install scripts should do.
-
-## Coding Practices for Modules
-
-All the
-[coding practices for hacking on the front end](#hacking_code_practices)
-also apply to modules.  In addition, I try to stick to the other
-practices listed in this section.
-
-* Every module should `from gettext import gettext as _` and wrap
-displayed strings with _().
