Re: CMSP 26. Specify a DLSIP resource
David Golden wrote: DLSIP codes should be specified in META.* as a resource. No. DLSIP was an early attempt at metadata, and should be superseded by META. It is not a single piece of information, but an abbreviated representation of five separate items. The P item is already covered by META. Possibly the DLSI items also should be, as individual items encoded in the META style. (D has already been proposed.) Then one could generate the DLSIP code from the META file, if really desired. -zefram

We may have different values for the DLSIP codes (like license , resources, an array/hash/set for used languages, a field or keywods for the interface style, etc.). But the dlsip field - http://search.cpan.org/dlsip - is a very bad idea.

Excerpts from David Golden's message of Fri Oct 09 07:53:50 -0400 2009: 26. Specify a DLSIP resource Proposal: DLSIP codes should be specified in META.* as a resource. My impression of DLSIP is that it's nearly as unused as the modules list. Is this inaccurate? hdp.

That does not mean that either the DLSIP code, or an expanded version of the information provided by same, needs to die with it (because the module list is the only official way of declaring the DLSIP code at present) I made this proposal as a minimum-change way of declaring the DLSIP code for the module. Maybe what I should have done instead is proposed additional enumeration keys for the L, S, and I parts of it. (D and P are covered by other proposals.)
