Who out there has some free time and is interested in helping out
beginners?
My little project for Perl beginners, [0]Perl101.org, has been largely
ignored lately. My idea was to have a cookbooky style set of pages that
beginners could read for things like the right way to get a count of
elements in an array, or how to extract links from a web page without
using a regular expression.
It started out pretty nicely, but has lain fallow for months now. I'd
like it if someone could take it over. I'll hand over the domain name and
[1]the Google Code project for the site, and you'll keep this going and
make it something more useful. If you want to overhaul how it works, or
keep the same system going, it doesn't matter to me. All I require is
that you'll do something useful for the beginners.
Any interest?

The CFP for [0]YAPC::NA 2008 officially ends on March 15th, so get your
submissions in soon. Though we actually have had an amazing number of
pre-deadline submissions (typically the last few days are when the
floodgates open), we could still use some more. There are spots open for
talks ranging from 20 minute overviews to longer 90 minute sessions. This
year, we are also doing hands-on workshops in the conference center
computer lab. Any projects that want to try to recruit some new hackers
should sign up for hosting one of these informal learning sessions.
