The C::M::Search package is under Marcus Ramberg's acct, though the author listed in the POD is Andy Grundman. Since both those gentlemen are core devs, I figured this list was as good as any, especially since the resulting conversation might be of interest to all Catalyst users. But I'll write to them directly as you suggest. > > Collaboration is the key. Modules that one guy uploads to the CPAN on a > whim are rarely useful. amen.

My original question, though, was more along the lines of "what do the *maintainers* envision for the namespace." 'Search' is (as you point out) an important namespace, and the idea of a uniform API for writing models seems like a Good Idea. The lack of documentation was what piqued me. -- Peter Karman .
