I'm not quite sure I understand how or why this is a business, but there certainly is some base level of utility value. I have a feeling this will ultimately end up encapsulating a job board.
In terms of business model - we're actually thinking about paid promotion of packages: allowing maintainers (companies and individuals) to promote their packages, we found there's a big need for that. We want to limit it to a single (clearly marked) promoted package for each category. Obviously, we would just surface the promoted package, but the package reviews, insights, and metrics are obviously untouched.
Any thoughts on that approach?
