What are the plans for the dub registry? Have there been discussions
already?
I'm not aware of concrete discussions w.r.t. the vision document, but
the two major improvements that come to mind are GitHub authentication,
which enables push notifications for repository changes, and some form
of pagination for the package list views.
Also, one thing we discussed at the last DConf is a "popularity" score
that would be used for sorting results. This would include things like
download numbers and GitHub stars. It would also take into account the
dependencies (which affects the download numbers), so that the score
actually reflects the perceived popularity as close as possible.
Finally, we want to have a form of CI integration to put packages that
have tests/pass tests first (i.e. give an incentive for package authors
to setup and use CI for their project). Generating documentation is
another possibility, as well as testing DMD frontend version compatibility.
