* White Camel nominations are now open

* New CPAN Distributions for May 18, 2008

| White Camel nominations are now open |

Every year, at OSCON, the White Camels are presented.
If you look at [0]the previous winners, you'll notice that these are
mostly unsung heroes, like previous awardee Eric Cholet, the human
moderator of so many Perl mailing lists, or Jay Hannah, one of the people
running [1]pm.org (if you ever created/maintained a pm group, chances are
that Jay walked you through the process).
Some of these people may be well known, like Allison Randal or Randal
Schwartz, while others may be complete strangers to at least part of the
globe, like Josh McAdams or Jay. Some of them may be extreme Perl hackers
who created the original JAPH, but they actually received this award as a
recognition for their community contributions to Perl.
That's not to say a great hacker can't receive the award, but you don't
have to be one in order to be eligible.
That being said, the nomination process for the 2008 White Camels is now
open.
If you think there's someone who deserves a White Camel, this is the time
for you to send in your nominations. Send them to [email protected], if
possible with a subject along the lines of "White Camel Nomination ::
$name". Make sure you properly identify the nominee and tell us why you
think that's a worthy nomination.
Don't go thinking "nah, somebody else will do it" because: a) everybody
else may be thinking the same, and b) you may state your case differently
than the next person.
We'll be receiving nominations until June 11, 2008, by midnight, but
don't wait up or you'll forget. Do it now!

| Help the Perl 5 Wiki reach 1000 pages |

The [0]Official Perl 5 Wiki now has a [1]total of 893 pages, and 284
[2]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
