CPAN Governance
- Discuss and hopefully form a body with a mandate to act as a last-ditch-effort protecting the fragile CPAN ecosystem from PAUSE authors.

PAUSE
Improve Web UI
- Port mod_perl1 interface to PSGI
- Make it easier to change permissions for those who maintain a lot of modules.

CPAN clients
Module metadata
Build & install systems
Module::Build replacement
Finish various components of a planned Module::Build replacement, including
- Finish Build::Graph, a dependency engine that doesn't suck
- Write a plugin architecture that doesn't suck, this will probably require some kind of IOC.

Compilation and Linking tools
Portable yet flexible compilation/linking tools are most welcome.
by: Leon Timmermans (leont), H.Merijn Brand (Tux), Jens Rehsack (Sno)
Installed module database / Packlists replacement
Start writing that .packlist replacement we discussed in Lancaster.

Static cpan installation
Our current installation mechanism is very flexible (in a Turing complete way), but most of the time that isn't necessary. It could be useful if this dependency on shelling out to Makefile.PL/Build.PL could be eliminated where possible.

PPM::Make
PPM::Make could use other toolchain modules/services to gather package information.

Module testing (not automated testing )
Automated testing (not module testing )
CPAN Testers
- Add MessageQueue to reports feed
- Add MessageQueue to page builder
- Fix Admin process for alerting tester to accept marked reports
- Add Admin process to re-attribute a report to a different distro
— by Barbie.
Quality metrics and assessment
CPANTS metrics
Add and improve some metrics, both for uploaded distributions, and for local projects that use
Test::Kwalitee,
Module::CPANTS::Analyse
and its friends.
— by Kenichi Ishigaki (charsbar), Karen Etheridge (Ether), others?
CPANTS Web
- Make it analyze more frequently so that people can check the analysis just after they upload.
