What a fantastic idea. I think this will really speak to those of us that may need a little nudge before feeling comfortable. I've dusted off my PAUSE ID and signed up.

Does anyone know of any other langs/communities that have tried something like this? This seems like a great idea to learn and contribute.

Almost every langs have a CPAN alike. They just copied it.

CTAN for TeX, CCAN for C, forgot the ruby name, LISP has it even with a cpantesters alike testers grid, PHP split it into PECL for binary extensions (higher quality) and PEAR, which struggles. emacs lisp, node.js, ocaml, ...

go uses git only for their distributed module system, which is a nice and simple idea, (github as default) but also appeared in common lisp before.

I think the question was less "What other languages have module repositories like CPAN" and more "Does anyone know of other module ecosystems that are running projects like this to get people involved?"
