We, the module installer developers, hereby decree...
Too official? Ok, I'll go again.
In this repository you'll find metadata for projects and modules. It's nice
to have that in a central place, apart from any specific module installer
(*cough* proto neutro pls *cough*), for at least these three reasons:
* The set of people who want access to a module installer and the set of
people who want access to module metadata are two different sets.
* If each installer has one set of metadata, that's more for everyone to
keep updated. If it's in a central place, there's less work.
* The list of projects in the ecosystem is really an orthogonal to the
installer, or even *an* installer. It might be used for other things,
such as rendering the list at http://modules.perl6.org
To add a new module to the ecosystem, add the URL of the module's META.info
file to the META.list file here in the ecosystem.
So there you go. It probably bears repeating that all of this is quite
temporary; something to sustain us until we can hook up with CPAN goodness
in some more long-term way.
Have a nice day.
