1st is to create a separate RSS feed for each module, so we can know
when news version of our favorite modules are up. The contents of each
item in these RSS feeds should be the portions of the Changelog that
relate to the new versions.

2nd is to include the 1-line description of each module in the items in
this RSS feed http://search.cpan.org/rss/search.rss , so we won't have
to click on each new module to see what it does and whether it is of any
interest to us.

What do you think?

Do you find my suggestions useful?

Do you think they will be implemented?

I revisited that site yesterday and today. What about it?

Ok, I got a better feed here: http://search.cpan.org/uploads.rdf from
the same site that includes descriptions.

use.perl's feed wasn't as good (module names weren't clickable and they
were all placed on the same line).

But what about per-module feeds?


And finally

Any way for users to get notified when a particular module is updated
would be great; I get such requests from the users of my modules. It
would be great if I could direct them to an automatic service. Is
there any (not necessarity RDF)?

Thanks,
Ilya

Well, in theory we could make one ourselves. Do you think it would be
worth it?

What do you mean? Implement and debug some code with a hope it will
be eventually installed on pause/cpan/perl.org servers? (Otherwise
its utility is quite limited...)

This is a laudable goal! (But do not expect a lot of contributions
from me...)

Yours,
Ilya

No, what I mean is create a service that will allow all module writers
to setup an RSS feed for their module.

It could also allow module *users* to setup a reliable RSS feed for
their favorite module (regardless of whether that module's writer wants it)

The modules' writers could be notified every month for how many
subscribers they have.

And there are some further ideas (forum and others) one can do on such a
website.

Anything which requires any extra work of the authors will not be very
useful. Authors upload to PAUSE; this should be enough to trigger
"the event".

Hope this helps,
