  Perl 5 wiki 900 pages, 100 to reach 1000 2008-07-25 15:14 TeeJay

TeeJay writes "The Offical Perl 5 Wiki at the perl foundation now has 899 pages, many of them are very good, and there is a steady if slow stream of improvements every week.

A while a go I cheerleaded it a bit and said we could reach 1000 pages - since then we've had about 115 pages added, and about 10 times as many updates - which is pretty good.

But there is still a lot of room for improvement - see the Most Wanted pages, or look at pages you're interested and see if there are missing links, content, mistakes or pages you could add

The Offical Perl 5 Wiki at the perl foundation now has 899 pages, many of them are very good, and there is a steady if slow stream of improvements every week.

A while a go I cheerleaded it a bit and said we could reach 1000 pages - since then we've had about 115 pages added, and about 10 times as many updates - which is pretty good.

  Help the Perl 5 Wiki reach 1000 pages 2008-05-16 09:36 TeeJay

The Official Perl 5 Wiki now has a total of 893 pages, and 284 pages wanted by other pages.

That means that 1000 pages is well within reach - pick from the "most wanted" page or the "wishlist", or even better - add more content to the many short pages already there such as mod_perl, applications, etc.

Other pages that would be cool to add would be

  • Perl usage - collate info about job statistics, cpan growth, surveys, perl monger census (past and current), numbers of conferences, etc
  • Packaging applications using PAR
  • Brief descriptions of each Perl Release, such as name of pumpking, major changes and links to annoucement, changelog, etc
  • Translated pages - currently the entire content is in english - translations of popular and/or big pages would be incredibly useful

The Python wiki has about 4 or 5 thousand pages - it's been around a lot longer than this wiki, but Perl has been around longer than perl and there is a lot more that could and should be covered in the wiki
