On The Perl Foundation weblog are a set of posts with proposals received
by the Grants Committee during the second call for grant proposals for
2008. Although not usual, the rules of the TPF Grants Committee are
changing and we hope to make this a rule. Proposals are accepted during
one month and after that period, they are posted for public discussion.
This is important to make the Grants Committee more aware of the
community interest on the project, and to help opening the grants
attribution process.

During the month of April we received the following grant proposals:
  * [0]Perl 6 Tables
  * [1]Solidifying and Extending the Blog Normalize project
  * [2]Add Perl support to NetBeans
  * [3]Perl on a Stick
  * [4]SMOP - Simple Meta Object Programming
  * [5]Fixing Bugs in the Archive::Zip Perl Module
  * [6]CatalystX::Installer Application
  * [7]Perl Survey
  * [8]Revision Control for all CPAN
  * [9]Improve POE::Component::IRC
  * [10]DBEditor
  * [11]Extending BSDPAN

Please take some time on reading the proposals carefully and give some
feedback on the relevance of the proposals.
