What if those people disagree? That's why, in my personal opinion, it's personal opinions that should be posted, not any sort of authoritative list. That way, people can give those opinions the weight they deem fit. A nice collection of links to people's own personal recommendations would be both easier to do, and easier to not get wrong, than a formal and centralized listing. This eliminates the question of "who deserves to be the one to say what's good and what's not", and decentralizes the "but what about this one, you forgot this one" problem. However, the bigger problem of "who wants to actually go to the effort to make this happen?" still remains, as it always will. > What’s the worst that can happen? > The less centralized it is, the less bad things can happen. In fact, YOU could post a recommended list of packages if you want to! What *could* go wrong? You might forget to mention a really awesome package. No problem - someone else can. You might mention a package that someone thinks is trash. No problem - it's a personal opinion. You might mention something that doesn't support current versions of Python. Not a huge problem - that sort of thing happens, people have to do their own research anyway. (All of these would be a bit more serious if the listing were centralized, although not THAT big a deal even then.) Want to start things off?
