When I first started releasing modules to CPAN it was great. I released modules that no-one used. I could release new versions as and when I wanted to.
Then people started using a couple of my modules. I started to get email about them. Suddenly my modules were no longer just for me. I had to deal with users.
In this talk I'll discuss how having users effects the way that you develop and release software. I'll also look at a few ways to keep on top of things.
