Bug Description
So we need to create a module repository for play. A growing community can contribute
these really fast if it's easy to do.
I see these task:
- Create a better documentation page about how to create a play module
- Create a repository on the playframework.org, with the ability to browse modules, register a new one and manage it.
- Create some new play command to automatically list/install/update a module
I think we should take a look at the grails plugin repository which is very great.

I have a few ideas regarding modules, feel free to ignore them if you don't like them:).
I was using grails plugins for about a year and I didn't like the approach of putting them in a different location than the application path. Reasons are version conflicts, deployment, customizing module for a project and then forgetting that other projects are using the changed version and so on. Also I didn't like that some plugins didn't support uninstall. In case of play, uninstall could be simply deleting the module folder.
Perhaps if there was a modules folder in application, it could be read automatically without having to edit application.conf
