in thread CPAN has a (beta) rating system

I think you could argue it both ways. It stands in the way of quick ratings, but is more likely to allow a reasoned judgement on the validity of the review.

    What about outdated reviews? I know of a few modules which would get a bad rating because of the authors ignorance, but bug reports have been submitted to correct for it. So what happens after the bugs have been fixed? Can you revise your review/rating? I have not tried this thing out yet.

    update: i'm not gonna try this out (gotta sign up for yet another account, no thank you).

      Updates are on the to do list. Also, reviews are marked with the version number reviewed which should help.

      It doesn't look like you can yet, but I bet that's on the to-do list...

      Review editing now seems to be up and running if anybody is interested.
