The stakeholders are certainly willing to participate, but to be honest, there are much more pressing issues to be resolved on the MetaCPAN side before we start messing with the display or non-display of reviews. If there's something resembling consensus and an accompanying appropriate pull request, we'll be happy to deal with it. The conversation was initially derailed, but it has continued in private. We're well aware of the problem, but it's just low on the list. > Since the cpanratings people aren't willing > to even participate in fixing the problems, the ratings should, *at least* > be removed from the search site -- and hopefully the module-info page, > as they don't represent useful information about the modules (IMO, as they > don't say what version the comments were about). At least one patch has already been applied to CPANRatings as a result of the discussion. It's not unreasonable to assume that more would be welcome. Olaf
