Yesterday evening I found a spare hour and fiddled a bit with the CPANTS author highscores.
There are now two pages listing all authors with more than 5 dists and with 5 or less dists on CPAN sorted by average Kwalitee. I also did proper 'ex aequo' listings (eg, I'm currently sharing place 25 with BooK and Joshua Hoblitt)
Next up: Add up/down movement information to those lists, as in pop charts. As soon as I'm done with this, I'll set up a cron-job to do weekly reports. And after that: more metrics!

Any chance of generating per-author module lists (for the +5 authors at least) so that we can tell which ones are letting us down?
Also, with PPI 0.903 now totally leak-safe, feel free to go nuts using it to generate new metrics
Yes, that's planned. I'll probably get to it next week.
Your latest run missed my 6th module upload by "this much".
From first glance, it looks like the numbers for people in the "top" lists are getting better.
Where are the metrics, anyway? O:-)
I'd like to go through my modules and check out why I missed the first place
Where are the metrics, anyway? O:-)
Disregard that! Next time I'll at the top of the page too O:-)
What's the time needed for a full run on CPAN? And, how much CPU/Disk does it cost? I'm asking this because it would be interesting to have the Kwalitee to run every day... every week... depending on the time needed for a full run. Also, I can offer some CPU/Disk for this project.
The last run took:
real 173m22.169s
user 111m49.530s
sys 19m47.620s
a bit less than three hours (on an AMD Duron with 800Mhz (it's an old dev server..)).
But there is an option to only check new dists (unless there's a new metric..), but it has got a bug (autoincremented ID are mixes up with old ones).
My plan is to get finish the 'highscore'-list and add per-author info. Then set up weekly runs. Then add new metrics.
Daily runs would definitly be possible, bu
