Hi! I've found some tuits to spend on CPANTS, so I changed the whole author rating thing (aka the CPANTS game).
I've split the metrics into core metircs and optional ones. At the moment, the only optional metric is 'is_prereq'. I've also changed the kwalitee rating from absolut to relative (i.e. percentages). If a dist satisfies all core metrics, it gets 100% kwalitee. If it satisfies all core and optional metrics, it gets more then 100% kwalitee. For the author rankigns, I'm not counting the optional metrics. So now you won't loose rank if you publish a new ('perfect') dist because nobody is using it... Please note the for the next few hours cpants.perl.org will show slightly strange results, as a big reindexing is currently happending. Oh, and thanks for all the feedback in the past few days. I keep notes of all thats discussed here and care about it. (I was ill for two weeks recently, so I have quite a bit of $work to do (but this week our kids are on holiday with my father, which gives me some tuits...)) As you might know, the organisers of YAPC::Europe tricked me into offering a CPANTS hackathon. If you're interested (and in Birmingham) I'd appreciate some visitors (on the other hand, if no one shows up, I won't miss some interesting talks ...) -- #!/usr/bin/perl http://domm.zsi.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}
