Introduction

In the "Rethinking CPAN" discussion it was mentioned that the current home pages for the modules on search.cpan.org and kobesearch.cpan.org are inadequate and that people would want to see other stuff. Before we work on a mock here is a list of things to put there:

The Elements

Reviews and reviews quotes

Search bar for this particular module's documentation

Links to the module's homepage

Rudimentary content to introduce the module

Using minimalistic HTML.

News feed - latest releases. (RSS feed.)

Bug tracker.

Module Rating

Tag cloud, taxonomy

Popularity indication

Number of link clicks, project record clicks.

StumbleUpon, del.icio.us, etc.
