Re: Why are we adding more kwalitee tests?

I think much of the problem could be solved by separating the metrics from the scoring. If CPANTS just gave the results of various tests so I could look up my modules and see which ones I pass and fail, that still helps me as a developer if I'm interested in improving my modules. Where it becomes into a competition rather than a developer's tool is that the scores are added together into one Kwalitee score that assumes (or for which people assume): a) all tests are relevant b) all tests matter equally (are equally weighted) c) higher score means higher quality The scores are available in the database. There's no reason that someone can't use it to generate their own Qualitee score or a core Kwalitee or whatever subset they think matters. Some of that might be useful for installers, and some not. But if CPANTS itself didn't offer a Kwalitee score -- just the results of the tests -- there wouldn't be an implicit sanction of a single metric that gets people so riled up. Regards, David Golden

The scores are available in the database. There's no reason that someone

IIRC there was some talk about the possibility to change the weigths
of the various
metrics to form your own Kwalitee score.
Would it be possible to add my own idea about the relative weights of
the various
metrics and use the current gui to view everything using this set of values ?
I was thinking about this but am no where near implementing it.
For that matter is the source of the GUI available for reading and patching ?
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Module-CPANTS-Site/
But it's rather ugly on the inside, I'm afraid.
And you'll need Module::CPANTS::DB (which lives in Module::CPANTS::Generator)
