- Kenichi Ishigaki created a list of Japanese CPAN authors and a script to maintain it since there was a need to more easily track Japanese authors.
- He launched a website, acme.cpanauthors.org, to feature CPANTS info but it had no data since the official CPANTS site was down. He set up his own private repository to store the data.
- Work is still needed on CPANTS including adding tests, making the processing faster, fixing broken metrics, and integrating more external data sources. The tools and resources are now in place to continue improving CPANTS.
