+    How easy it is to configure or extend the code?
+---
+
+Rarely you're going to find a module that does exactly what you need out of the box.
+
+Usually there will be some configuration options, or it will get you to 80% or 90% and you need to fill in any gaps.
+
+If you need to extend, overwrite or customise a module, have its Developers made it possible or easy to do that?
+
+Good code should be easy to change or extend.
+
+Are there hooks you can implement or events you can subscribe to and run your own code?
+
+Are there Interfaces and base classes you can implement or extend that allow you to use design patterns such as the Decorator pattern?
+
+Are there public services you can use instead of re-writing and duplicating existing functionality?
+
+Is there documentation or examples showing how to extend the module?
+
+Is it a stable foundation for you to build on?
