Do you mean like p5ee? Been tried, didn't work. | [reply] |
No, it has not been tried, at least not by p5ee. Setting up a mailing list and one web page does not amount to much. If you really want this to work, you need to promote it. You also have to have something to promote, i.e. more than just ideas. This would mean a starter set of modules, a clear set of criteria for how modules are chosen, a procedure for nominating and approving modules, and possibly a separate distribution source which provides ready-to-use binaries or at least a one-shot source download with an automated build script. The p5ee project had no clear goal, and there were many people who wanted to define a new set of APIs rather than choose existing CPAN modules.

The clear goal was to do what you said - at least from what I gathered from the list before I unsubscribed in disgust at how pointless it all was. Achieving it was the problem.

I'm a tad confused, do you think you could elaborate what exactly you are suggesting here? All I've gotten out of it was "choose a group of modules and distribute them". Choose which modules? Why?
