The CPAN new dist a month contest

By Neil Bowers on March 1, 2014 11:37 PM

Inspired by Chris Madsen's once a week, every week contest, and the monthly new distribution challenge 2014 quest on Questhub, I've created the CPAN new dist a month, every month contest. Release a new CPAN dist each month. How many months can you keep that up for?

This is a mashup of ideas from BOOK, KENTNL, and myself. Which is funny, since KENTNL turned out to be the current leader.

I like these, but I wish we would have as many drives to fix open CPAN issues, especially in core or heavily-used modules. I use a lot of modules that have open defects with submitted patches that just sit there.

Neil, the author of the blog post, also started a CPAN adoption drive to get people to adopt modules, which would help getting the defects fixed.
