I suggest that you move out the addon functions out of the cosmos addon into it's own.

Why?
I want to have the Cosmos,Sea and Chronos installed so I get the menu system and such. But should I really need to put files into FrameXML just to get the menu?

If I only install those 3 directories into my AddOn directory I get errors about some setstatus bar thing.

Shouldnt Cosmos in itself just be a framework to help developers do addons?

The rest should really be split into other addons.

I agree. If you take a sneak peek at Earth, you'll see there's an EarthMenu_RegisterButton.

Where can I find Earth?

I thought you were one of the designers/coders for Cosmos?

Would it take alot of effort to move the non framework parts of the Cosmos addon and split them into their own?

I really like the menu idea and plugins. But I want cosmos to not interfere with my other addons as it does now if I install the cosmos package.

Is the changes in framexml really necessary?

It seems as CTMod and Gypsy do fine without them and they dont seem to work correctly when cosmos is installed with the changes in framexml.
