Re: Rating System for Modules

The more I think about this the more I like it. Think what a bonus searchability was to CPAN.

I'm up for giving this some time (reality permitting). Mirod's review section looks like a good start. Is this a Perlmonks things or a site in its own right?

At the moment the review section is... just an idea, there is no code whatsoever to support it. I would think that in order to work it would have to be part of PerlMonks, just so users can be authenticated by the site. I (or anybody with half a clue and more time on their hands!) can write a quick proto, just to demonstrate the concept and get the UI right, but then the maintainers would have to integrate it in the site.

Well, I've got the next two days off work so I might have a quick go. Maybe this is the moment to learn about writing nodeballs B-) Authentication-wise, we can can always have our own list of users, although admittedly a Perl Monks tie-in would be great. Where's the "Summon a Perl Monks Maintainer" button when you need it?	[reply]
