| cpan6 - moving forward                                             |

Mark Overmeer gave a [0]talk at YAPC::Europe 2006 about [1]cpan6, the
design so far is the result of a collaboration between Mark and myself.
The talk was generally well received, and during the conference we have
heard many more peoples' concerns. The good news is that there were no
new requirements that didn't fit cleanly in the design, in fact it gave
some people lots of ideas. I think I can say that we have support for the
general direction of things, and now we can open up the debate widely,
and start implementing pieces.

I invite people to join either the [2]pause6 mailing list (for
infrastructure discussions) or the [3]cpan6 tools list (for client-side
installers and upload tools).

The earliest task will be looking at the big picture, and seeing which
pieces are the low-hanging fruit that we can write tests for straight
away. I'll start the ball rolling after we have a few subscriptions.

[0]ehdonhon writes "Credit Card registration has re-opened for the
[1]Pittsburgh Perl Workshop!

We had a hiccup with the registration process that prevented some people
from registering when they chose to pay via credit card. This problem has
been fixed. Now your payment options are PayPal, credit card (via PayPal,
but no PayPal account required), and check. If you tried to register and
had a problem, please try again.

If you haven't registered yet, now is the time. The fifty-percent
"Early-bird" discount ends September 18th. Save your money and
[2]register today!"
