Oh, right. So how does one get a namespace proposal confirmed by an admin?On Tue, 21 Oct 2003 16:55:44 +0100, Tim Bunce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said:

The publishing frequency of the modulelist itself is not enabling/preventing editing of metadata on PAUSE. Authors can edit metadata as soon as a namespace proposal is confirmed by an admin.
I have two modules currently on CPAN (Win32::SharedFileOpen and Win32::UTCFileTime). I posted "Module submission"s for both, but I can only edit module metadata for the former. Now that I search the archives, I see that only the former ever got a "New module ..." message from PAUSE, but I didn't do anything different. Why did one module get confirmed but the other didn't?
Does somebody need to click one of the links at the bottom of the "Module submission" mail for Win32::UTCFileTime:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules/2003-05/msg00472.html
If so, I'd appreciate somebody doing so. (It says the links are only valid for module list maintainers.)
Thanks, - Steve
