Social Reviewing for Perl Modules

prepan's Issues

Description not included if previewed.

When I created my project my description was not included. I think this may have been because I clicked "preview" then "Post".

Templates or text part of website not included

The template part of the website doesn't seem to be included in this git repository.

<ul> within <ol> shows numbered items, not bulleted

Given Markdown in module description:

1.  item 1
2.  item 2
    * item 2a
    * item 2b
3.  item 3

Expected rendering:

1. item 1
2. item 2

• item 2a
• item 2b

3. item 3

Actual rendering:

1. item 1
2. item 2
3. item 2a
4. item 2b
5. item 3

This is a CSS issue; the #module-description ol li definition is being honoured over the #module-description ul li definition.

The solution might be to change #module-description ol li to #module-description ol > li.

Review request

It may be nice for us if we can request for review to some specific people.

504 Gateway Time-out

The server has been giving these errors for about 24 hours.

Unable to sign up or sign in

Using GitHub, no Twitter account. I simply get a red bar when I attempt to sign up.

I [NOTICE]ed some curious wording ...

[NOTICE] If you're not familiar with CPAN's manner at all, please give a look at "Official Documents You May Have Not Known"

feels more english as

[NOTICE] If you're not familiar with CPAN's mannerisms please take a look at "Official Documents You May Have Not Known"

PrePAN issues can be filed in two different locations on GitHub

The PrePAN Info page currently refers potential issue filers to the prepan-developers/prepan issue list. However:

1. the README in the prepan-developers/prepan repository itself refers potential coders to a different repository (at CPAN-API/prepan)
2. the repository at CPAN-API/prepan also has an issue list
3. both issue lists have open issues (before this one was opened)

Please consider disabling one of the issue lists so that there is no confusion as to which one should be used.

I've cross-posted this issue to both locations because:

1. I know that the CPAN-API/prepan repository is at least monitored for pull requests
2. the prepan-developers/prepan issue list is the officially advertised one

Bigger textarea for comments

Reviews of modules may be quite long. The current size of the textarea for comments is too small. It should either be bigger by default or dynamically resize to the content.

Here is an example of a long review:
http://prepan.org/module/3Yz7PYrBEp#comments

Adding a comment resulted in "Internal Server Error"

I just added a comment to the entry on Troff::Parse, and got the response "Internal Server Error". Though when I went back, the comment was saved.

Markdown in comments

Review of module may be quite long and include example code or references to external site. Markdown is already used in modules posts. It would be good to have its power in comments too.

Here is an example of such comments that would have benefited from Markdown formatting:
http://prepan.org/module/3Yz7PYrBEp#comments

Always notifies new module only to Chrome extension (not header bar)

I think those who use Chrome extension is somewhat notification junky (including me!) ;)
So It's good that new modules always will be notified via the extension. But not via website header bar.

Appropriate timezone

Now the time displayed on the site showed by UTC. Somehow I want to make it appropriate.

Cut off too long description

• Implement html_trim() method in PrePAN::Util using HTML::Trim
• Then add it as template filter

Push the code of PrePAN to GitHub

• separate configurations into public/private
• more tests
• some refactoring

Up/Down Buttons

Up/down button for easy feedbacks.

Code spans become code blocks (rendering Markdown)

From http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#code

To indicate a span of code, wrap it with backtick quotes (`). Unlike a pre-formatted code block, a code span indicates code within a normal paragraph.

Unfortunately it is all rendered as blocks at PrePan. See for example: http://prepan.org/module/3Yz7PYrBAY

Preview support for markdown

It's annoying we write in markdown, submit module, then find some errors, edit that, then...

Update Teng to new version

Add Module Naming Guide to CPAN docs list

On http://prepan.org/info#section-documents , can you add the PAUSE guide to module names?

http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_namingmodules

Thanks, :)

Redundant notification entries

@punytan reported that. I don't know why.

Feature requests: quick index; search

The quick index would list the module name, title, and submission date instead of showing the entire entry, allowing many more entries per page for fast scanning. It would nice to offer sorting by module name, title, or posting date.

It would also be very nice to be able to search by (partial) module name, title, and/or author. A submission-date range limit would be nice too.

Raise error when module name is Acme::*

Acme:: module should be released only by authors' own thought ;)

Check design around "Good" button and preview form

Check it and fix if needed.

Delete entry option

Would be nice to have a way to delete a module after it has been reviewed.

Server is often out of action

The prepan.org server seems to be out of action about half the times I try it.

numbered lists rendering incorrectly

On desktop, indented too far to the left:

On mobile, numbers are also hidden altogether:

Add introduction to existing resources

User page URLs

Cleaner URL for user page like below:

from: http://prepan.org/user/3XR97nG2Gi
to: http://prepan.org/user/kentaro

Mechanism of asynchronous worker

Prepan needs mechanism of asynchronous worker for a heavy task, for example, making user graph from twitter.
