Ok, I heard you all.

Privacy: No one is forcing you. Do only if you are willing to do so and only for the modules you are interested discussing. You may edit your list anytime.

Mailing List for every module: Idea has merit as all the useful discussion about a particular module would be centralized. Somehow I don't feel ok about it at this point as the real aspect is problem and not the module. Also I would love to have well-integrated mechanism with my perlmonks inbox.

Current Mailing List for Modules/Domain at http://lists.perl.org : I admit, I am not a heavy user of these lists and may be that is why I see the PerlMonks as a good platform to have more communication channels of such sort where we have excellent user-base already.

Statistics: My original idea has to do with listing, promoting modules and helping other users rather than with the stats.

My Overall Motivation: To provide a platform which encourage to bring people together who work on similar tasks (may be referenced via modules) and promoting useful modules to make task easier, rather sharing just the information in Q/A formats.

Listing on Home node within some 'tags': I really like this idea as we can use super-search as per albannach as well as in what nachoz suggested.

Discussion Mechanism: You can /msg for example, to 'Module-Group' (ex.. File::Find::Rule) and all the users who are interested in discussing that module can receive the message in their 'inbox' at perlmonks (of course, you can ignore the user if you don't like) and then you can choose to answer to entire group or just the specific user. Then you can have private /msg or email exchanges with the interested users if you like.
The advantage is that you don't need to search for the module-authors/users all the time and gives you instant platform for module discussion to only the interested users without generating much traffic. The platform can be also be used to encourage use of new and useful modules keeping your development efforts up-to-date.
Alternative forms for discussion mechanism can be thought upon as well. Also if this is going to put too much load on perlmonks, a parallel site to do this can serve the purpose.
