Hi, I'm one of contributor of Openpear, and I have some packages categorized in "Wozozo". http://openpear.org/maintainer/koyhoge In Openpear, "Wozozo" is joke category like Acme in CPAN. In beginning, Wozozo was developed for internal debugging categories. Package names beginning with Wozozo_ was not listed in the top. Some developers know that this started to register JOKE packages. "Wozozo" means nothing, the nickname of "nequal" member. It is wrong assertion that openpear's category is sloppy with this reason. In this regard, I wrote blog article. http://d.hatena.ne.jp/koyhoge/20091007/wozozo (In Japanese) On Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 23:33, Igor Feghali <igor.feghali@gmail.com> wrote: >> Sometimes I wonder what we did so terribly wrong in the past for users >> *sigh* > > we did what was right, IMO. otherwise we would end up with a package > named "Wozozo_VirtualGirlFriend" in a category called "Wozozo" > (whatever that means). we strive for quality, we can't be punished > because of that. > > Best, > ~IF. --     KOYAMA, Tetsuji     koyama@hoge.org
