The main parameter I use in determining which package to use is the last committed date. Perhaps there are more important considerations but as someone learning/building/trying to actually release a Meteor app, it's the one that has suited me well so far. \r\n\r\nIt would be nice to have the ability to see the last updated date for each given package directly from meteor search to better assist in picking packages to install. \r\n\r\nPerhaps someone handy with bash (and more importantly, with the time) could put together a wrapper for meteor search to return recent version information for a given package by pulling data from meteor show. \r\n\r\nNot the most critical of features, but I felt it would be a worthy feature request contribution.\r\n"}}
