in reply to How to promote scripts on cpan?
I agree that we need to promote the scripts on CPAN. Jazzing
up the repository couldn't hurt (it looks like it was
created by Mennonites, and people looking for plug-n-play
stuff for their web sites are not likely to be impressed),
along with more aggressive
search engine promotion (as neophyte suggests).
But...
"Not Matt's Scripts" desperately needs a rename ASAP, because
- it's negative, which we usually try to avoid
- we shouldn't be hard on Matt, who as a teenager (IIRC) came up with something which has obviously filled a massive need
- it might backfire into an advertisement for the very scripts we'd like to help people avoid.
Update: I should say here that I know that davorg never meant for that name to be permanent
