The [official Perl 5 wiki](http://p3rl.org/wiki) has recently become unusable for its original purpose, see the [announcement](http://use.perl.org/~schwern/journal/33751). It is currently impossible to register as a new user. I sent an email to <supp...@socialtext.com> six days ago and have yet to receive an acknowledgement/reply/fix.
I am looking for a champion to take up the cause: investigate what's going on and keep nagging so that access to registration is restored. In case we cannot get satisfaction in a reasonable time, let's consider cutting ties. Some initial thoughts: * Export everything, tools available from <http://search.cpan.org/~lukec/>. * Evaluate Perl wiki softwares and import. Should support [Wiki Creole](http://enwp.org/Creole_(markup)) and [Markdown](http://enwp.org/Markdown) syntaxes for editing. Usability must pass mst's opinion as "not crap". Must not have URL cruft. Insert your own favourite bikeshed colour here. * Find a reliable host for the software: Perl NOC/digital craftsmen/speedchilli/etc. * Ask [Perl NOC](http://noc.perl.org/) for `wiki.perl.org` CNAME. * Send webmasters of perlfoundation.org and socialtext.net some configuration snippets for their Apache httpd and nginx so that the legacy URLs permanently redirect to the new ones.
