This is not an effort to improve package quality or gain new
contributors. This is an effort to make life of users better. It is not
about packages, but about applications. Is it really so hard to see that
the use cases and requirements for this are totally different from the
pkgdb ?
Jeff's point however, is that one web application can, and should, easily
accommodate those goals while still exposing a completely different interface to
the contributors. Perhaps the argument should be made that no matter where the
'comment database' ends up it... the pkdb interface should be able to show those
same comments to the contributors.
If a 'different website' is used for the general user to view/rate/install
applications that probably works just fine, as long as the contributors do not
have to then go find that source of feedback separately. The comments and
ratings given on that website could just as easily be accessed/viewed from the
pkdb for contributors as well.
