Revised Perl++ Wiki Proposal / $1k bounty

2006-06-20 Thread Conrad Schneiker
Here's my latest proposal. Feedback welcome.

I propose to install twiki (http://www.twiki.org/) on Feather. This is
a GPL'd Perl-based industrial-strength wiki. This would serve as the
general Perl 6 wiki, aka Perl++. 

The source code would be placed in the Pugs .../other/... subtree for
us to incrementally convert parts of it to Perl 6, and to also
add/change functionality. A perpetual beta version of this would also
be available on Feather. From time to time this beta version would
replace the pervious Perl++ wiki code. In the mean time, we would have
the initial Perl++ wiki.

The previously proposed bounty would then instead be offered for the
following subproject. Create a subsection of the Perl++ wiki that
mirrored the Pugs svn doc tree. Provide a means of hacking on the docs
through the Perl++ wiki. Implement whatever protocol the @Larry people
on #perl6 deem appropriate for handing commit bit access issues. I
think that that this simplification and convenience would greatly
expand participation in generating Perl 6 documentation.

Best regards,
Conrad Schneiker

Before you sent that I registered a project on Source Forge for this,
half-thinking I would want to work on it but also open it up to the
entire community. Reason being that Source Forge has well-established,
robust community project management features already available (I have
another project there that's nearing it's 10,000th download).

If you want a place to keep/hack-on P6 wiki code I'd propose that
http://sourceforge.net/projects/p6wiki be the place. Anyone who wants
can have admin/developer permissions -- just ask.

Feather would still be required to demo/test/run the latest perpetual
beta release. What say you, Conrad?

Not everyone agrees that Sourceforge is so great. I, for one, will not
use it. And no, I'm not going to discuss this again, sorry.

If there's anything important that sourceforge does that feather doesn't
provide yet, please work with me to change that.
