November 4, 2006: Fixed a few RSS bugs, added "alternate" headers
for the RSS. A bunch of general code cleanup. Implemented a proper
API for the helpful votes.
September 12, 2005: Fixed problem with updating reviews. Thanks Aristotle!
August 25, 2005: Went through a bunch of the little TODO items. Oh, and added a link to the until now well hidden index.rss feed!
July 20, 2005: Changed to use Bitcard for authentication. Added "was this review helpful" votes. Also changed the URLs to be a little nicer (we couldn't do that while using the old auth server (don't ask)). You can now add a review without giving it any ratings.
September 28, 2004: Bugfix to the "show reviews" page by Ivan Tubert-Brohman.
August 13, 2003: RSS finished, validating distribution names now, lots of other tweaks.
August 11, 2003: Very much a beta. Comments to ask@perl.org.
