I would like to develop a module that allows other modules to be inserted into it.  Is there a way to do this?

Specifically what I want to do is allow the marketing team to create sections on a page that can be expanded and collapsed.  There will be a variable number of these sections on a page, so it didn't seem right to put them into a skin. These sections will be created with a module. 

Inside these expanding areas the marketing team will add formatted data.  This is where the module in a module thought came in.  The marketing team will want to put things like a company address, a paragraph with a picture, a list of contacts.  I want to keep the user away from HTML and only allow them access to text fields.  I want them to drag an Address Module into placeholder in the expanding area (my other module). The address module would have simple text fields for the data and would keep the user away from formatting.

Is this possible?

Andy,

Off the top of my head I'm not sure how difficult it would be do dynamically create skin panes within your module that would allow users to drop another module inside it from the Add Module menu.  I have never done this before. 

I would think an easier approach would be to combine the Address module views into your container module and access them using the module action menu (IActionable).  So your default view would be your container with actions "Add Panel" and "Add Address".  The 'add panel' would create the new panel and the 'add address' would be an edit view that users could input the data and pick the panel they want to add it to.
