Hi all! I was doing a regular update for http://perl-begin.org/ when I updated http://perl-begin.org/mailing-lists/ and noticed that it still linked to the old Mailing lists' database at list.cpan.org. Now I learned on the CPAN Testers mailing list that Gabor started creating a better list here:
http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?mailing_lists I linked to it as the first link on the perl-begin page, but noticed that it could still use a lot of work. I've done some of it now myself, but we could use more help. Here's what you need to do: 1. Go over the mailing_lists_[123456] pages and pick up a mailing list entry. 2. File it in the wiki under its own page or a related one. Link to that page from the topology on http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?mailing_lists . 3. Make sure to include a "^^ [Mailing lists] " header+link above the mailing lists' entries, so the mailing lists page will have an incoming link. 4. See if the entry of the mailing list is up-to-date, and if not - STFW for the up-to-date location and update it in the wiki. 5. Add some links and information on the topic at hand if it's a new or a stub page. You can also do the same for new mailing lists that aren't present in the originally copied lists. This way we'll have an up-to-date database of mailing lists as well as a more populated wiki.
