I admin at a brick and mortar that's soon to become a statistic. As the Keeper-of-Secrets I have had to keep a low profile regarding intellectual property. Since the edge of the cliff is getting near I have begun to wonder about the ability to publicly post code. I'm no wizard, but I may have a few things worthy of CPAN.
The problem I forsee is that I have little time available to me now, and I don't see that changing in the future. I don't want to put up a module and then immediately abandon it. I feel I would have responsibility to maintain code with my name on it. So I ask all you CPAN authors: how much time and resources does your spawn require of you?
Of course all of this presupposes that the masses would come running for the powerful magic I upload :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
