I'm starting to get working on designing a new Perl-centric website, along the lines that I have discussed with a number of your over the last couple months. The primary focus will be to provide a knowledge base for Perl. A big part of this will be a collected search tool (google, htdig?) for searching all the useful Perl sites that are publicly available, from perlmonks.org and perl.com to Randal Schwartz's columns, etc. and a CSS/Atom feed aggregation from those Perl sites that offer feeds. I want to avoid, as much as possible, replicating any work already done and being used, and focus on providing a central place for browsing those offerings and searching for information therein.
Potential feature extensions could include a version of the Perl documentation that is editable (wiki) or on which users could leave comments or footnotes, and maybe a general wiki area for users to maintain additional documentation. It will almost certainly not provide a discussion forum (link to perlmonks.org) or mailing lists for specific modules (assuming cpanforum gains traction). If you are interested in _assisting_ with or _contributing_ to this project, I have opened a mailing list at http://mail.grendels-den.org/mailman/listinfo/perlnet_grendels-den.org.
