I suspect that what you actually meant to say there was: I see that TPF seems to be having problems keeping its archive or press releases up to date. Or, perhaps it doesn't have the resources to produce the number of press releases that it wants to. Either way, I'd love to help out. So does anyone know who I should contact? hth, Dave...

PR people make friends then pester them to run their story. Geeks, on the other hand, think the merit of a story will carry it. And, if someone has Perl news but doesn't want to do the work, just send me the details and I'll write about it.

Well, honestly, it's not that simple. Even the people that do want to help wrestle with the web strategy and various levels of approval and permission they need to get to do something. It's readily apparent who the contactsw should be, but getting past the offer to help is a pretty high barrier. I suspect someone with the right sets of permissions needs to trim the website and point major portions of it to the wiki, which solves most of those problems.
