hi,

I am sure many of you already read about the Perl Weekly http://perlweekly.com/
and are subscribed to it. If not yet, do it now, I'll wait.

The thing is that several people have already asked me to
add a section reporting about interesting new CPAN uploads.
On a rainy day there can be 50 new CPAN uploads which
means there can be around 350 uploads a week.
Give or take a few hundred.
I would need to pick 3-5 a week to mention.

I cannot possibly look through all the 350 uploads let alone understand
most of the modules or even the changes they made.

So I wonder if you have some ideas what should I do or how should I do?

Maybe there could be a few people cooperating on this. Each one of us taking
one day and pointing out the 1-3 modules where the recent changes seems to
be especially important.
The we would write a few lines about the module to be included in the
Perl Weekly.

Maybe you'd have a better idea how to handle this quest?

regards
   Gabor
