Quick Trivia - How many Drupal modules?

Irakli:

We all know that Drupal has a lot of modules. But do you know – exactly how many?

There are 2,265 contributed modules in the Drupal code repository right now.

How impressive is that number? To answer that question, let’s see how long it would take somebody to read through the descriptions of all modules? Assuming 2 minutes per module on average:

2265 × 2 = 4530 mins = 75.5 hours = (considering 10 hour work-day) = * *more than a week!!! * *

You may be better off using an external bulletin board application. Drupal can integrate with a bunch of them Take a look at this: http://drupal.org/project/phpbb

This module is not available for Drupal 6, yet. The project page mentions definite plans to release integration for Drupal 6 and phpBB 3 (also a new release) soon, though.

How many now?

Could you tell me how you got that number (through CVS maybe?)

I can't seem to find the number anywhere on drupal.org, and was wondering how many modules there are now, a year later.
