Hi! During YAPC::Europe in Birmingham I did a (rather short and un-hackish) hackathon. Slides are available here: http://domm.plix.at/talks/2006_birmingham_cpants/
During YAPC, I added a few new metrics: - manifest_matches_dist Check if the stuff listed in MANIFEST matches what's in the dist - buildtool_not_executable Check if the buildtool (Makefile.PL, Build.PL) are not executable (and thus need to be called with 'perl Build.PL' thereby specifying which exact version of Perl you want) - has_example An optional metric that checks if the author included a dir called 'eg|ex|example(s?)' which in turn includes at least on *.pl This resulted in quite some movement in the CPANTS game... I've also changed the display of the authors page http://cpants.perl.org/author/DOMM optional metrics (is_prereq and has_example) are now visually seperated from the core metrics. The site cpants.perl.org is still not very stable due to a Catalyst/DBIx::Class-Bug (or more likely a bug in my usage of them) Oh, and if you want to join the fun and help a bit, here's a (probably incomplete) list of tasks: - Metrics: - has_license - no_boilerplate - has_valid_filenames - declares_dependencies - no_open_bugs - Signature checking ? - has_rating ? - relation of subs to lines of code ? - Scripts - Generate a SQLite DB dump from the postgres DB - Catalyst Frontend - sqash bug - Split up dist/view into several sub-pages - API / Webservice -- #!/usr/bin/perl http://domm.zsi.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}
