Interested in forming a cabal - it would be nice if we had a list of who to contact about which websites and could try and make their lives easier.
A little mailing list would be cool if anybody could set one up.

Perhaps what we need is a committee that oversees (important) Perl websites. This committee could make "suggestions" to website managers, such as the ones in Jeremy's article. The committee could also set goals for the different websites, and perhaps arrange for trusted volunteers to lend assistance where necessary. And this committee should have a mailing list.

With a mailing list, maintainers of websites will be able to share information and contributors will be able to prove their trustworthyness by the contributions to the list, face to face at meetings/conferences and irc. same as for development.
If you have a committee it could get in the way and might not be suit

I think an informal committee would help add an air of legitimacy (among the other things I already mentioned) to our efforts. I view this as a problem that should be addressed by the community at large. It would be nice if the Perl foundation could get involved somehow, too.
