Hi all!
I'd like to start the long task of updating=20
http://history.perl.org/PerlTimeline.html
which has been stopped at
2002.=20
What I'm planning to do is:
1. Make the document validate:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=3Dhttp%3A//history.perl.org/PerlTimeline.=
html
2. Convert to XHTML 1.1.
3. Add more links and news items (that would be the hardest part) in
the=20
following years. Also prune some dead links.
Note that I have some affiliations. I'll fork the document to a
temporary=20
location (with a note). The copyright reads:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<

is=20
granted for use of this document in whole or in part for non-commercial=20
purposes. For commercial uses, please contact the author first. Links to
th=
is=20
document are welcome after e-mailing the author with the document URL
where=

the link will appear.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I don't know if it can be modified while retaining the same licence (I've
C=
Ced =20
her to ask her just in case.) If the HTML is generated from something
else,=
=20
it would be useful to know that now, but it doesn't seem that this is
the=20
case for it. Perhaps Elaine would like to specify a Creative Commons
licenc=
e=20
for it.
Anyway, if you can think of any events that should be added, please email
m=
e=20
in private.
Best Regards and thanks in advance,

The bad thing about hardware is that it sometimes work and sometimes
doesn'=
t.
The good thing about software is that it's consistent: it always does not
work, and it always does not work in exactly the same way.
