http://perlfoundation.org/perl5
http://perlfoundation.org/perl6

both work, and they are fairly memorable, if not explicitly wiki-fied. 
We also have links on the perlfoundation.org home page.

We could try to get links on the perl.org homepage. Any suggestions on 
what category?

Conference season is nearly on us, and that can be a good time to spread 
the word. I believe Schwern did a lightning talk at OSCON last year. 
Might be good to get folks to do lightning talks at the various upcoming 
events. BOFs are also a nice way to get people together and get them to 
actually edit something.
