Some package maintainers are unhappy with the recent addition
of a rating-and-comment facility in PyPI; they don't want to
see user comments on their package page (the rating itself
is not being challenged, AFAIU).
For the record, I *did* question the rating feature on this list and
still think it's inappropriate for a package index. As are the
comments.
Ah, ok. So would you also put that on a public poll?
Yep, already done, thanks to John.
Since you mentioned on the SourceForge ticket
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=513503&aid=2872293&group_id=66150
)
that one reason why comments were implemented is because many people
requested it:
I hereby request the feature to be able to selectively disable
comments
for my PyPI packages.
I'll be holding a public poll.
Thanks, I hope that will help.
FWIW, I think Jacob's proposal in the ticket above is worth
considering:
"allow package owners to disable comments, but only if they provide a
link to an alternate forum".
I'd like to propose yet another compromise: let the package author
indicate that they dislike seeing comments, but allow them posting
of comments if they decide to, anyway. What do you think?
-1 That would defeat the purpose of being able to channel feedback to
an alternative location, e.g. the dedicated issue trackers for my
packages.
