At one point I'd like to add a tool to CPANTS so people can give weights to each one of the metrics and see their 'kwalitee' through that magic weight system. So you could say 10 for has_test and 1 use_warnings 0 for debian_redistributes etc. Once this is implemented it will be interesting to see what weights people use for each metric. I wanted the Debian specific metrics there in order to give feedback to the authors so they know what's the status of their module in Debian. (and I hope I can add more distros) It could be gathered in yet another site but I thought it might have a better place in CPANTS. I also think it has high added value to the kwalitee metrics but let's not discuss that again. Gabor
