As I really (really!) think feedback on modules is
needed I have started writing a bunch of reviews,
(available on Module Reviews).
Need I mention that you should write about your favourite
module? Especially if it isn't CGI.pm, which everybody
knows and worships already.
In order to increase the usefulness of those reviews,
I think they should include a word from the author, but
also some kind of list of users, with their opinion on
the quality and usefulness of the module.
I hope we can add this feature to the site, and here is
a first proposal of what it could look like:
Cool::Module

I like it, some quirks but the developer is
very helpful. I would have liked a tutorial though.

It sucks! Bill could do better. I told the
author but he never answered. This code is
dangerous! |

The module works fine but lacks some important
features I need. I found that Super::Cool::Module
is more appropriate for me. |

Adding comments would be possible through a simple form,
and voting guidelines available of course.
I am sure this could be improved, so what did I forget
or what did I get completely wrong?
