Today, you're right. Forge is mainly a community repository for modules
with little curation or identification between the good and the bad. We're
eager to change this, having formed a dedicated team around Forge this past
July.

What you'll see from us in the next several months is making the
contribution process natural and easy. We'll also be adding features to
help you during the decision making process on whether a module is worth
using or not. As we do these things, we'll be moving closer and closer to
where we could go down the path of slicing the Forge into
different distributions of modules that represent various levels of care
and polish.

The Forge has seen a dramatic increase in the last several months in both
number of modules and quality modules. It certainly can be hard to find the
good ones but we'll work on that. Check out the Recently Active list on the
homepage for what's getting regular love and our module of the week blog
posts. If you've got a particular problem that you're trying to solve, feel
free to email me. I'll respond with a module that I know to be in good
shape or make a note to chase one down.

On features, please take a look at open feature requests, vote & comment
them up or add a brand new feature request for your needs.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/module-site/issues  Feedback is
always appreciated on the list or feel free to ping me individually via
email or ryancoleman on IRC.

I hope you bear with us as we improve the Forge. I'm really excited to work
on making it better. I'll leave you with an awesome talk from CERN at
PuppetConf about science, Puppet & Forge. :-)
