[0]Alias writes "Someone that I've been talking to about [1]YAML::Tiny in
email asked my opinion on CPAN's JSON modules, and whether or not I had
any plans to write a JSON::Tiny as well.

I replied at the time that I had no idea, since I had never really taken
a good look at JSON-related modules before, and I only created ::Tiny
modules where ALL the existing options were either bloated or XS-based,
and there was a genuine need for a ::Tiny module.

[0]schwern writes "Graham added [1]Gravatars to author pages on [2]search!
[3]Have a look!

Because of performance issues with gravatar.com, they're cached and the
cache is still being populated. If yours isn't there, just give it a bit
of time.

Here's the FAQ entry I've proposed.

Where do the author's pictures come from and how do I set mine?

They come from the [4]Gravatar associated with that author's cpan.org
email address. To set yours, simply [5]sign up with gravatar using your
cpan.org address. We cache the gravatars so give it a day or so to catch
up."
