Hi Igor, I'm the product manager for the Puppet Forge and Modules teams. Thanks for the note. I've commented in-line.

For a little internal context, their team is much larger and more established than ours. The module team formed in July and is a team of two. We're actively hiring to expand the team but at this point, we're stretched thin on our current work to improve module testing (beaker) and remain somewhat timely on pull requests. I owe you many more thoughts on beaker soon. On this front though, our project manager (Heidi) is spending time this week (and next) with the module team to improve the JIRA modules project. We'd like to make it easier to tell what's going on for issues or PRs against a given Puppet Labs module and make it easier for the engineering team to prioritize and triage those items in a timelier fashion. Again, thanks for discussing this and for all of your contributions. We'll get here soon, hopefully by next quarter if hiring is successful. -- Ryan Coleman | Modules & Forge | ryanycoleman on twitter & #puppet IRC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
