Please don't be redundant, use Wikipedia as a reference, and there are also other Wikimedia components like Wikibooks that we should start using, discussing and referencing here. --[[User:Ermeyers|Ermeyers]] 13:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC) |

| − | Thanks to whomever brought the Perl Opinion archive over here from Wikipedia, but I want to let everyone know that we now have a lot of things to remove from this archive. This wiki is not in competition with Wikipedia, so anything that still belongs in Wikipedia should be removed from here ASAP. This wiki is an open forum for Perl Opinion . --[[User:Ermeyers|Ermeyers]] 14:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC) |

| − | ==The Glue Wiki== |
||
| − | Perl is very famous for being the [[duct tape of the Internet|glue language of the internet]], and I hope that this Perl wiki is simply remembered as one of the places that helped to glue all of the Perl wikis together into the central Perl wiki. --[[User:Ermeyers|Ermeyers]] 14:35, 14 July 2006 (UTC) |

| − | ==Calling all Wikipedians== |
||
| − | I'm currently starting up [http://perl.wikia.com The Perl Wiki], in [http://www.wikia.com Wikia], in an honest and sincere attempt to successfully create the global Perl community's central place to go to learn and contribute, openly and freely, the central resource wiki for Perl, or The Perl Wiki. |
||
| − | |||
| − | I'm looking for Perl Wikipedians to participate in this great Perl effort. --[[User:Ermeyers|Ermeyers]] 15:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC) |

| − | ==The time has come== |
||
| − | There is a correct time and a correct place for everything. There are some things that are appropriate to be placed neutrally under the Perl topic within Wikipedia itself, and some are not, so we just need to organize and police things smartly, moderating the content as needed to make it public, while providing external links out to the proper private location, or locations, for the Perl biased expressions to occur. No foul and no problem, I believe. --[[User:Ermeyers|Ermeyers]] 15:10, 14 July 2006 (UTC) |

| − | |||
| − | ==The places are out there== |
||
| − | People will be going to two major information resources. They will be going to Wikipedia to learn about many topics, including Perl, and they will be going directly to The Perl Wiki for its centralized Perl information. I believe that the Perl related topics within Wikipedia will be a very big part of the total information solution, along with The Perl Wiki however it is implemented. --[[User:Ermeyers|Ermeyers]] 15:10, 14 July 2006 (UTC) |

| − | ==The Perl Story unfolds== |
||
| − | The global Perl community has a very good story to tell to the world through all of the Wikimedia components that are available. You're doing exactly "The Right Stuff," by utilizing the Wikimedia components to tell part of the Perl story, by adding a page in Wikipedia to tell the world about Tom Christiansen's great contributions to Perl, and by writing new Wikibooks to help bring new people into the Perl community. --[[User:Ermeyers|Ermeyers]] 15:11, 14 July 2006 (UTC) |
