Hi Jacinta!
With your permission I'd like to move the present and future content of
the
Perl-Begin MediaWiki:
http://perl-begin.berlios.de/site-resources/wiki/
To http://perl.net.au/
. There isn't too much there and maintaining a
mediawiki on the berlios.de servers is painful. I'm already maintaining 5
MediaWiki instances on a different host but I got root there, which helps
a
lot.
perl.net.au seems to be in much better shape anyways, and I'd rather
consolidate the stuff there. I promise I'll do it manually and carefully.
So
far all the content on the Perl-Begin wiki has been authored by me except
for
the following essay:
http://xrl.us/oxve
I'm a bit hazy about its licensing, but I know the author has tended to
prefer
the Public Domain for his code, so I guess this essay will also be OK.
Soon I'll set up a wikis page on the perl-begin site.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
