The Perl community is huge, disorganised and (mostly) an incredible force for good in the world or Open Source Software and IT in general. And sometimes I think we have a tendency to forget just how impressive the community can be. We have achieved some phenomenal things over the twenty or so years that Perl has been around. We have a lot to be proud of.
That's what this site is for - to remind the Perl community about what it has to be proud of. We'll be writing articles about some of the impressive things that the Perl community has done. That will include infrastructure like CPAN and cool modules as well as more "people-powered" achievements like Perl Mongers or Perl Monks. Think of it as being a bit like a geek version of the Guardian's "In Praise Of..." leaders.
We plan two or three articles a week. Which, by my, reckoning gives at least a few months worth of articles. But if you think of something that we seem to have missed, then please let us know.
