use Perl

The website chupei.pm.org is officially lanched again.

It's now a blog powered by MTOS4 instead of a wiki, like it used to be. Therefore, one more perl blog. :)

We've been putting the translated release notes of all sorts buzzing modules into Chinese so it'll be more quickly understood by local people.

Last year I've put shelling into the world of Perl and now he is one of the major contributer in Chupei.pm. Thanks very much for his effort doing good article translations. He's awesome.

Recently doing many svk hacking, including this new dist: SVK-Churn.

So SVK-Churn basically has the same idea of SVN-Churn, generating 3 kinds of statistic chart using Chart::Strip:

• Linesof Code
• Number of committers
• Number of committs

After 0.03, it installed as a svk sub-command rather then a stand-alone script. That's fine, because people have to have svk installed to use SVK-Churn anyway. To generate some chart, you do something like:

svk churn -o pugs.png //pugs

And wait for svk to traverse the whole pugs history and count lines of code changed on every revisions. Here's one result of the Pugs project.

This would only be the second year of YAPC::Taipei, and thanks to autrijus we have so many hackers around the world gather at Danshui hacking about perl6(pugs), RT, Kwiki, and SVK.

I've recently add the revspec processing routine into SVK. And just finished a Spork::S5 spork plugin last night.

With all these great hackers around you'll always have lots of ideas to implement, and that's kind of brain-storming you cannot have during normal days.
