in reply to Cool Ideas for Perl Projects

Or, you could just take over one of the many modules that people like to use, but have no maintainer. I have a list of modules I need to give away to someone because they're just withering on the vine for lack of my time.
My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    Is there a simple way of finding such modules? I know there is the list at cpanforum.com, but it is a very short list right now.

    And does the above list contain all of your modules that you want to pass on?

      Given that I didn't know about cpanforum.com, probably not. My list is: I've got other modules, most of them at 0.01. If someone wants one of them, I'll gladly work with them on that. And, to be honest, I've got like 300 ideas that would make great CPAN modules, but I just don't have time to work with them.

      If anyone wants to work with me on them, please email me at rkinyon AT cpan.org
