[when suggesting things please give people some time to respond, especially given the crazy traffic at this list lately. I just had a chance to read this thread.]
I'm -1 on renaming. Here is why: - Not all modules fit into suggested categories, some modules belong to several ones. - We definitely don't want the hell to break loose by pushing the authors to rename their modules. Think of all the documents which aren't under our control which refer to these module names! Books and articles to start with. - This is also doesn't help with the move to 2.0, because many modules will work with both versions without changes, or with some internal changes transparent to users. It doesn't force authors to rename their modules. And with the Apache2/ dir trick, there is no reason for doing that at all. It'd be great though to have guidelines for developing Apache:: modules and their name conventions. There feel free to suggest a better categorization. And I'm -1 on maintaining a separate catalog. Here is why: CPAN is already categorizing Apache:: modules. http://www.cpan.org/modules/00modlist.long.html#ID15_WorldWideW (just scroll down till you get to Apache::) all we need is to add #Apache and the problem solved. We have already tried to maintain apache-modlist.html, which just didn't work, the file was neglected and many new modules aren't there. Whereas they are in the CPAN listing. May be instead of potentially wasting efforts here, the effort should go to help improve 00modlist.long.html, so both Apache and other Perl categories will benefit from this. I'm quite sure that Andreas and folks who bring you CPAN will be glad to get any help in this direction. Andreas please correct me if I'm wrong. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
