So, when next I have a dose of free time (which hopefully will be
later this month) I want to revise the Moose website. As Gabor pointed
out (http://szabgab.com/blog/2009/08/1251583673.html), what is there
now is not very organized and difficult to wade through. As Moose gets
more popular the lack of a clean and organized website is a stumbling
block for people.
So, I have some questions to ask of the greater Moose community to
help me put together more information.
1) What companies are using Moose?
I am not looking for sponsorship, endorsement or anything official,
just like to be able to point out to people who ask (like this guy on
perlmonks -> http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=793076). Here
is a short list of companies I already know about:
Yahoo!, Symatec, IMDB, Pobox, Best Practical, Shadowcat, ValueClick,
Magazines.com, Reuters, Takkle.com, BBC, Hearst Publishing, Omni
Hotels, YouPorn and SocialText
Anything that we can add to that would be awesome (and of course if
you work for one of these and would prefer to be left off the list
just let me know too). As I said above, this is not an endorsement of
Moose by these companies, and I will be explicit about that, but just
something to show people that yes Moose is being used out in the wild.
2) Are there any blogposts or misc. rants of any kind that is *not*
already covered in the docs but really don't belong in the docs that
you would like to see spotlighted and/or included in the site?
The short list so far is:
http://chris.prather.org/perl/why-moose-is-post-modern/
http://chris.prather.org/perl/moose-dependencies-a-lurid-tale/ (which
needs some updating)
I am going to comb through the Ironman archives for more as well, but
if there is anything you have seen recently that you think should be
spotlighted, let me know.
3) Moose Presentations
We have a list on the website now, but if anyone wants to add to that
list and have us link to slides, we would be happy to.
4) Moose Testimonials
If anyone would like to write up a short (one paragraph) testimonial
about how Moose helped them, I would love to include these on the site.
---
Then of course any other suggestions anyone might have, I am open to
them.
Thanks,
- Stevan
