Okay, but we have requirements for both search.cpan.org and 
cpanratings.perl.org, right?

search.cpan.org is the front-end to most module-searching, and I think it 
should stay that way, but should have more visible (read: not so deep) links 
to ratings/reviews and show the "star-bar" in more places.

cpanratings.perl.org should have it's todo-list worked on (maybe broken into 
software and legwork (e.g. 'translations' is not so much software)).

Sorry, but maybe I'm not grasping the connection between search.cpan.org and 
cpanratings.perl.org.  The 'star-bar' at search.cpan.org seems to be a local 
image, but is it pulling the average rating (dynamically) from 
cpanratings.perl.org?  Seems that this is also true for the testers.cpan.org 
'pass/fail' counts

If these sites have separate maintainers, we should be working on two 
requirements lists.
