install() function if all you're going to do is to set the version of
the module from module.info into the database. This means that for some
simple modules, you don't need an install.php file at all.
Add xxx_installer::upgrade($version) method so that upgrade stanzas
are separate from install stanzas. In the old code, to do an upgrade
meant that you had to re-evolve everything from the initial install
because we'd step through each version's changes. But what we really
want is for the initial install to start off in the perfect initial
state, and the upgrades to do the work behind the scenes. So now the
install() function gets things set up properly the first time, and the
upgrade() function does any work to catch you up to the latest code.
See gallery_installer.php for a good example.
Install: <module>_installer::install() is called, any necessary tables
are created.
Activate: <module>_installer::activate() is called. Module
controllers are routable, helpers are accessible, etc. The module is
in use.
Deactivate: <module>_installer::deactivate() is called. Module code
is not accessible or routable. Module is *not* in use, but its tables
are still around.
Uninstall: <module>_installer::uninstall() is called. Module is
completely removed from the database.
Admin > Modules will install and activate modules, but will only
deactivate (will NOT uninstall modules).
File_Structure_Test to make sure we don't regress.
According to the PHP docs, the "public" keyword is implied on static
functions, so remove it. Also, require private static functions to
start with an _.

user modules.
* Don't delete vars when we delete a module. This makes
reinstalling a module a lot easier.
* Add user::lookup() as the preferred way to load a user, so that
other modules don't delve into the user module (that'd be a
problem when we swap out user modules)
* Notify site admins if Akismet is not fully configured
* Bundle all server variables into the comment so that if/when we
re-check the comment, we are not using the server info from the
site admin's request.
* Update Akismet to grab request context data from the comment
* Pre-seed comment fields if we have a logged in user. Update
comment::create() API to clarify it for this.
* Delete comment::update(), that's a controller function.
* Add url to User_Model
* Add author_name() author_email() and author_url() to
Comment_Model. It'll return the appropriate values depending
on whether the comment was left by a logged in user or a guest.
* Use resetForm() instead of clearForm() when we reload the
comment form after ajax submit, this way we preserve the
pre-seeded values.
* In the user profile page, ignore blank passwords.
