Micheal Schwern has an idea for an automated quality assurance system for CPAN called CPANTS.

As part of this there is meant to be a karma rating for authors and modules.

At YAPC::Eu::2001 I signed up for a working group to implement a karma. OeufMayo and BooK were also involved. I think that we all felt that the PerlMonks system could be used in some way. However, I haven't written any code and judging by the mailing list no-one else has either.

Nevertheless, it is a good idea and it should be followed through.

Does anyone have any opinions about the suitablity of the Slash, PerlMonks or Everything engines for this task?
