Re: Is it acceptable to upload non-serious modules to CPAN?

What I'm talking about is research modules, something that you're working on, you've got some part working, you would like some feedback from community, but eventually it is supposed to be merged into some other project or re-written?

Have you considered Sourceforge? It would seem to be a logical place for projects that are just in the research phase.

Then, as your code gets more solid, I would consult re module name on the module-authors list as another monk suggested.

What would moving to sourceforge actually accomplish? I don't use cvs, they don't provide svn, their web-only interface is horrible. I can't see how it has anything in common with CPAN.	[reply]
Peer review of CPAN modules? by astaines (Curate) on Jan 23, 2005 at 00:46 UTC
I don't think Sourceforge is a good idea. It is really intended for full scale projects, and is likely to be even less suited to a small module than CPAN. However, there is a problem with proliferation of modules on CPAN. It's getting harder, in my experience, to find interesting new modules, just because of the sheer size of CPAN. Also, often modules appear with no prior discussion on the mailing list. I don't think this is helpful, at least in general. Some kind of peer review of CPAN modules would be useful. probably informal, like the XP system here, rather than a formal (and costly) system, like that used in the scientific literature. -- Anthony Staines	[reply]
