Re: (Existing) Perl 6 Wiki: (http://perl.net.au/wiki/Perl_6)
Hi Conrad, It's only an issue of coordination and findability. But that question depends on what the intended purpose of the wiki would be. For example there is nothing stopping anyone (including members of this list) from creating and populating pages on www.wikipedia.org about Perl6 and this user group. Then those pages would be available to the wikipedia search engine. --- Insert any other popular wiki there. If, however, it is meant for mailing-list specific issues then only we need to be able to easily find and search it, so there is no issue. And of course with the ominipresence of google, finding and searching is always becoming less of a problem. What would be annoying though is to invest work in a perl 6 wiki that is only one of many perl 6 wikis and with no coordination of efforts between them. (is there an official perl 6 user's wiki or will there be, or is that a different question?) --michael onperl.org On 24/05/06, Conrad Schneiker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Michael Mathews I for one, think a Perl6-users wiki would be extremely useful, I'm just not sure why a site that distinguishes itself as a portal for the Australian and New Zealand Perl community makes the most sense I was only thinking of the availability of an existing Perl 6 Wiki, not the site as such. (particularly to anyone trying to find the Perl6-users wiki from outside this mailing list). My guess is that that's a pretty much location-independent problem, unless (for examples), (1) you get perl.org to host a Perl 6 users wiki, (2) you get perl.org and allied sites to put a prominent link to it on their main Perl 6 pages, and so on. Okay, New Zealand and Australia have parrots but the connection is a stretch. Isn't Larry and/or Damian from Australia? Maybe that's the connection? The only connection was that it turned up fairly high on the list when I googled for perl6 and wiki. (However: Damian Conway holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and is an Honorary Associate Professor with the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.) I'm just askin'... HTH Best regards, Conrad Schneiker www.athenalab.com/Perl_6_Users_FAQ.htm www.AthenaLab.com (Nano-electron-beam technology.)
