I'd like to have a discussion about rethinking the "How do I do what I
want to do?" problem that people have been discussing, and that I
talked about here: http://perlbuzz.com/2008/04/rethinking-the-interface-to-cpan.html
I've started a separate group, away from here, to discuss.

Hi Andy! (and all)
Thanks for the comments. See below for my response. It will be a rather
stream-of-consciousness thing, but I hope something can come up of it.

If you have a tactic for deploying a strategy, I would like to hear

Like-minded strategists get together and deploy a single solution.

I will be doing the part I volunteered for ... sooner or later even if

Every so often, an idea's like Shlomi's comes up, where we talk about
adding reviews to CPAN, or reorganizing the categories, or any number
of relatively easy-to-implement tasks. It's a good idea, but it's
focused too tightly. What we're really trying to do is not provide
reviews, but hel
