Overall it's a good summary. I have some comments, but I'll comment later. Meanwhile I've set up the wiki pages as promised: http://perl.net.au/wiki/Finding_a_Module_on_CPAN/Module-Rank The reason I'm using perl.net.au instead of the Perl 5 Wiki is that: 1. I feel that MediaWiki is more suitable for such brainstorming and massive editing due to the fact it has a better diff-based feed; a dedicated discussion page; the less AJAXy editing interface which I feel is a good thing in this case; and the fact that one can easily edit a sub-section of the page. 2. We can always move it to somewhere else at a later stage.[1] {{{{{{{{{{ [1] - Legal and licensing issues put aside of course, but I hereby proclaim that the licensing by any contributors will remain compatible. We can say it's Public Domain (Creative Commons, etc.) or MIT X11 for the sake of the argument. In any case, arguing about the licence is counter-productive. }}}}}}}}}} So be bold and edit. There are some other pages I have in mind, but let's have something we can play with on a wiki. It's possible that this pair of discussions are going to take enough energy of the Perl mongers who will have to read through them after the weekend (or the Sabbath). I'm not saying it's not important just that such long and similar discussions tend to get annoying.
