New Israel.pm website look
http://www.perl.org.il/ has a new look, courtesy of a template downloaded from OSWD.org and the wonderful HTML::Template module.
In addition, the site sources are under subversion, so that anyone can download and use them. Instructions are in the About page.
Recently someone posted in his Journal a rant about Perl websites:
http://use.perl.org/~TeeJay/journal/21055
I believe the new Israel.pm site shows that things can be different, even for "one man shows" sites. Israel.pm:
1. Is standards complient.
2. Nice looking, but not too flashy.
3. Is based on HTML::Template, so is easy to maintain.
4. Uses subversion to handle the site sources, so it is easy to send patches.
I agree that for large sites, such as perldoc.com, 1 or even just 2 people are not enough. But for the site of local Perl Mongers group, a perl based templating solution should be workable.
If you think differently, please comment below. Or send a patch

Perl Quiz-of-the-Week Mailing List Revived
The list was very successful, generating many interesting discussions on the corresponding perl-qotw-discuss discussions mailing list. Alas, the burden of writing both quizzes and summaries, week afer week, grew to be too much for MJD, with the sad result that the list eventually came to a halt. After a long hiatus, prompted by someone asking if the list was dead, MJD emailed the list and proposed a new scheme for reviving the list- namely, that people would volunteer to write both quiz and summary, one or two per week, and MJD would act only as overall list administrator. Response was enthusiastic, and a new quiz was released shortly after, with hopefully more to follow.
So, if you feel like sharpening your Perl skills, feel free to come on in and register to both perl-qotw and perl-qotw-discuss mailing lists (hit the "eSubscribe" link at the bottom of the page in order to subscribe) - the list is once again alive and open for business
Just remember that now more than ever the success of the list depends on the community, so if you can contribute a quiz (i.e. the quiz and a sample solution + short writeup afterwards), please do so.
help them think they understand.
