I think it goes without being said, but now is the time for everyone
to sign up, and populate the forge with lots of great content, so it
attracts more users, that add more content, that... I think you get
the idea :)   The more modules it gathers, the more useful it becomes
for everyone.   I think folks will continue to keep their modules in
github (or bitbucket, or their tool of choice) and publish releases on
the forge, for everyone to find them in a central location.   Let us
know if you encounter any problems or have questions/ideas.

We have a bug tracker up at
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/module-site for filing any
problems/requests you might have -- right now, you can use that
tracker for both the puppet-module-tool and the web site itself.

One of the features we want to add is a watch/notification feature so
you can see if any modules you are watching have updates.   We also
want to add a comment system so folks can share problems/tips about
specific modules.

Currently if you have a problem with a specific module, the home page
of that module is the best place to start -- for instance, github has
a built in issue tracker.

Thoughts on how to make all of this even better are welcome, consider
this an open thread.

So much for my purchase of puppetstrings.net! I guess I can scrap the
crappy code I had put together, too. :-P

[Mr Gabriel Says ...] 

Then maybe grab a few guys from this list, and get them to help you
transfer everything to puppetforge :) Content, content content, any
takers?

I want to be able to see how "good" a module is before I use it.
There''s already four apache modules...
