Getting co-maint for new modules in a package

2008-10-11 Thread Chris Dolan
-maint on the new modules is becoming an unwelcome ritual before handing off the release baton. Is there an easy solution to getting co-maint on all modules in a distro? Is it just something we need to remember to do, or is there an automatic solution somewhere? Chris

to someone who has used Geo::shapefiles and GeoIP, and is looking for something similar. "Geography::" WOULD show up on a Geo search, but is it better for me to locate new modules here rather than in Geo? I had thought that Geo:: looked like a standard place, until the Geography area
