I'm happy to float project to project, usually MetaCPAN and CPANTesters, however I'd like to pursue a project that Paul Johnson (‎pjcj‎) suggested right at the end of last year's PTS, to get cpancover to do (near) real-time coverage reports after uploads.

I'm going to focus on grep.MetaCPAN to tackle bugs from the GitHub tracked issues and features list.
Help is always welcome if you are interested.

I want to get the three categories for what we expect from authors regarding the QA of their modules based on the river-position more clear, and integrate that into clear documentation in Release::Checklist

I also want to iron out some problems left in CORE:Configure after commits to that file directly not backported to meta/dist. I'd also like to make progress in bringing down the maintenance burden by discussing the differences with dist/meta and merge what we agree on (needs discussion with Rafael Manfredi)

I want to sit with Abe to check how we can iron out issues with Test::Smoke. My concern here being what to do about *huge* log files.

I'd like to discuss best practices regarding testing ones release against multiple versions of supported modules. e.g. Foo::Bar fixed an issue using Hoo::Blo-0.43's new shiny feature, added tests for it, but does not want to fail for still supported Hoo::Blo-0.42 and older.

• CPAN::Changes - Changelog parser upgrade. Needs downstream testing.
• metacpan - Various tasks
• Test::Needs - Extensions for environment, program, internet, threads, etc checks.

• Investigate cpantesters reports of failing test suite and fix.
• Normalize the distribution to install in the regular library dirs
• Talk to SawyerX about an old idea to get better info from the smoke-reports, make a start with that
