Scott, I hope you can get some historical numbers somehow. When I saw the new procedures, I figured it would greatly slow down the number of new modules. I certainly will think hard about creating any new ones with that procedure in place.
On the other hand, I've had several cases in the last month where I knew there was "a module for that," but couldn't find it because project pages are often written to describe the "itch" that spawned it, rather than thinking about how it might be searched for. I did get one maintainer to rework his project page. So I think this should be at least a guideline in the sandbox process - review it for searchability. That could greatly help in reducing duplicates, and increase cooperation on existing modules. Nancy Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. ________________________________ From: Scott Reynen I happen to be in the middle of researching these numbers. Since sandboxes were opened, there have been an average of about 31 sandbox modules and 7 full modules created per day. I don't have historical numbers, but just quickly looking at today's date last year, there were exactly 7 new modules posted that day. So the rate of new full modules doesn't seem to have gone up significantly.
