Hello, If you weren''t at PuppetConf or didn''t catch my talk, here''s a quick recap. I''m product owner for the Puppet Forge team which formed in July with 2 awesome engineers and an equally awesome designer. We''re a team dedicated to the Forge and while ramping up, we''ve shipped three small improvements to the Forge that we hope you enjoy. * Two lists were added to the homepage, highlighting recently active modules and contributors * An authors Gravatar is now displayed on each module page. * Today, the Forge will now retrieve information about GitHub issues and pull requests for a module for display on a module page. This has been automatically enabled for any module that lists GitHub as its ''Project Issue Tracker URL''. The team is just getting started. In the mean-time, we''ve been making improvements to our back-end services, user-testing new feature ideas and getting ready for the next wave of functionality. Our next features will focus on these two areas. A) Making it easy for you to contribute your module & B) Improve the information you have to make a decision about which module to use. As we develop and test ideas to address these goals, we want your feedback! Feel free to file bugs, features --anything really-- to our Redmine project: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/module-site/issues Aside from that and this user list, you may always email me directly -- ryan@puppetlabs.com -- or find me on #puppet as ryancoleman. I''m always connected via ZNC so if you don''t get an immediate response in IRC, know that I''ll see your message and reply if I can. Finally, if you haven''t tried out the Forge in a while, please give it another go. http://forge.puppetlabs.com -- Each day new content is added or updated and there''s some truly awesome stuff amongst the 500+ Forge modules. There''s also a blog-post series showcasing a new one each week. links.puppetlabs.com/motw Thanks for your time and for being an awesome community! --Ryan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I was stuck with a module I downloaded - I looked it up on the forge, and I noticed a link to the git page - I then realised the problem was ummm..... me, using the module in the not right way. Most useful, saved me bashing my keyboard against the computer> The team is just getting started.

I''m sure you can pull the stats from Forge servers. I''m assuming people log into the forge to do some background before running public code, for compliance, and in my case to suppress paranoia :) How about making the forge a bit more social - For example how about being able to review a module, or write a comment about it on the forge? That way, it''s a bit easier for the author to get some feedback, and also for others to get an idea how ''good'' the module is. That would come in useful when some modules depend on others, if I''m trying to install module A, and A insists on B, C, and D - I''d rather read up on others, who went live straight away without testing and are complaining about their broken systems .... Oh, I mean, I''d like to read the reviews from other users praising the awesomeness of the forge. Imagine that - In 6 months we could have modules writers competing against each other - now that would be cool - Author rankings, (obviously Puppet Labs Employees and modules excluded!) - and peer competition could only lead to better code> Feel free to file bugs, features --anything really-- to our Redmine > project: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/module-site/issues > Aside from that and this user list, you may always email me directly > -- ryan@puppetlabs.com -- or find me on #puppet as ryancoleman.

But I do really like the idea of being able have some sort of community review on the modules, be that comments or even a simple up/down voting type system.> > > Feel free to file bugs, features --anything really-- to our Redmine > > project: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/module-site/issues > > Aside from that and this user list, you may always email me directly > > -- ry...@puppetlabs.com <javascript:> -- or find me on #puppet as > ryancoleman.

Thinking about it, the download stats would be misleading - Good point - Voting up and down would be a place to start. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

How do I create forge server for internal modules? Due to security concerns, we are limited in what we can public back to the community, but would like to use the forge format vs librarian. thanks On Tuesday, October 2, 2012 7:35:34 PM UTC-7, Ryan Coleman wrote:> > Hello, > > If you weren''t at PuppetConf or didn''t catch my talk, here''s a quick > recap.
