That would be better simplified to:

  CPANTS is the CPAN Testing Service.

-- cos it's pretty obvious where the name comes from, and its being an
acronym is hardly the most important thing about it.

But if you really want to talk about it being an acronym, it should be:

  "CPANTS" is an acronym for "CPAN Testing Service".

-- cos there you're talking about the words rather than about the
entities.

Took me a bit longer than planned, but renovating our new appartment sucks
up a lot of time...

Anyway, I rewrote some of the pages on cpants.perl.org and I think that this
is a reasonable introduction for qa.perl.org:

-- start --

CPANTS is an acronym for CPAN Testing Service. The goals of the CPANTS
project are to provide some sort of quality measure (called "Kwalitee") and
lots of metadata for all distributions on CPAN.

Please take all the information presented here with a grain of salt. The
methods used to test the distributions are a bit flakey, and some of the
Kwalitee indicators are still subjects of discussions (which should happen
on the perl-qa list).

-- end  --

Enhancements by people who actually /can/ speak/write proper English are
highly anticipated.

Plugging CPANTS

2005-09-18 Thread Andy Lester


For all the activity going on with CPANTS, we have nothing on  
qa.perl.org that refers to it.


Can someone please write up a paragraph and a link that I can put up  
on qa.perl.org's front page?


Thanks,
xoxo,
Andy
