I'm starting to get working on designing a new Perl-centric website,
along the lines that I have discussed with a number of your over the
last couple months. The primary focus will be to provide a knowledge
base for Perl. A big part of this will be a collected search tool
(google, htdig?) for searching all the useful Perl sites that are
publicly available, from perlmonks.org and perl.com to Randal Schwartz's
columns, etc. and a CSS/Atom feed aggregation from those Perl sites that
offer feeds. I want to avoid, as much as possible, replicating any work
already done and being used, and focus on providing a central place for
browsing those offerings and searching for information therein.
Potential feature extensions could include a version of the Perl
documentation that is editable (wiki) or on which users could leave
comments or footnotes, and maybe a general wiki area for users to
maintain additional documentation. It will almost certainly not provide
a discussion forum (link to perlmonks.org) or mailing lists for specific
modules (assuming cpanforum gains traction).
If you are interested in _assisting_ with or _contributing_ to this
project, I have opened a mailing list at
http://mail.grendels-den.org/mailman/listinfo/perlnet_grendels-den.org.
Thanks,
