Will the design requirements be open to public review and comment before it's implemented? Sam and I work on the CPAN6 idea for a few months now. It goes much further than simply security and multi-developer extensions to Pause. You can use it to create, distribute, and merge CPAN-like archives; on a meta-archiving level. Especially this requires new terminology, which we now try to freeze in the YAPC-paper and other design documents. Public discussion on this moment would eat all our time. Of course, we hope it will grow into a community project after the YAPC. -- Regards, MarkOv Mark Overmeer MScMARKOV Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://Mark.Overmeer.net http://solutions.overmeer.net

And release it to, errr, CPAN. Sorry, slightly tongue in cheek. But as with most Perl 6 projects, I have to ask: Why do we have to wait for Perl 6 before we get a better CPAN? Or is this getting too meta and should I wait until your yapc talk instead... Leon
