in reply to Module Reviews (again!)

I like the idea. One of the hardest things to do is categorizing user contributed content well. I was giving the reviews section some thought yesterday. If users could create a revieweditem node for instance with some sort of unique identifier then people could attach notes, ratings, reviews, and maybe tutorials as well to this item. The unique identifier for a book would probably be the ISBN number and module name would probably suffice for modules.
I also like the idea of having rating criteria for modules and probably a different set for books.

    Cool! The new reviews now show up!

    An additional idea might be to let reviewers add a short statement on what the module does (probably from the module description) and maybe another short sentence to summarize the review, which would show up on the reviews node, so people have an idea about what a module does before clicking on the link

    Something like (I like tables!):

    Module Description Comment
    CPAN.pm query, download and build perl modules from CPAN sites the Mother of all modules, indispensable
    Roman count with Roman numbers robust and convenient, count only up to 4000
    XML::Twig process XML efficiently product placement
