  Looks Great! Now if we can just do something about perl.com, which appears to be mostly abandoned....

    perl.com belongs to Tom Christiansen and he let's O'Reilly use it. We don't have any control over that. Maybe O'Reilly would let us do something with it, but it's potentially a valuable enough domain name that they might be loathe to do that.

      ... it's potentially a valuable enough domain name that they might be loathe to do that.

      Given that they haven't published anything on it since May 2008 (18 months!), that it has a prominent link to "expanded Perl news coverage" (which leads to a marketing page almost as abandoned), and that the only updates it sees are blurbs from feeds which point to mostly irrelevant marketing posts which barely mention Perl (okay, one of the posts has some cringeworthy, copy and paste code), I have difficulty imagining

        If Tom owns it, can we get it back from O'Reilly?

          That's up to Tom and whatever contract they have.
