Editing Perl Education Consortium

[[Perl Wiki]] has the freedom and drive to use its space at [[Perl.Wikia.com]] to develop a [[praxis]] and [[practicum]] for learning and applying what we learn to real-world needs.

An unfettered [[MediaWiki]] environment presents a remarkable opportunity for educators both inside and outside of the world of [[Wikipedia:Computer science]] and [[Wikipedia:Information technology]]. Forming working relationships with other groups that share the MediaWiki context is an essential directive for [[Perl.Wikia.com]].

[[Perl Wiki]] will maintain a close relationship with Wikimedia projects as a kind of "two-way street" drawing upon and learning from the current content there, while contributing to its completion in terms of siting sources and verifying references that relate to aspects of [[programming]] especially where [[perl]] is involved.

The [[Perl Wiki]] was concieved in some part by discussions at [[m:Main Page|META]] as part of the ''[[m:Communitas]]!'' program in conjunction with [[Wikiversity]]. Our principle contact at Wikiversity is [[m:User:Cormaggio|Cormac Lawler]].

We are also conversant with the Staff at [[Wikipedia]], [[Wiktionary]] and other Wikimedia projects.

=== Meta, Wikia and WikiProjects ===
The Perl WikiProject is especially tied to community-building efforts across the Wikia planet and to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] assessment techniques at [[Wikipedia]]. Developing [[social software]] that allows seemless integration between [[WikiProject]]s across .[[edu]], .[[org]], .[[net]], .[[gov]] and .[[com]] [[domain]] [[context]]s is essential. 

[[Social software]] that can span distances, cross language barriers and tactfully cross borders and boundaries is a challenge that [[perl]] can accept. 

Perl.Wikia.com is a [[Wikipedia:Virtual community of practice|Virtual community of practice]] that ''resides'' in [[wikia.com]] space but has [[hook]]s and [[stub]]s throughout [[wikimedia.org]] space &ndash; primarily at [[meta]] and [[wikipedia]].

==== The Perl Foundation ====
[[Wikipedia:The Perl Foundation|The Perl Foundation]] is dedicated to the advancement of the [[Perl]] [[programming language]] through open discussion, collaboration, design, and code. Those also happen to be the pillars of the [[Perl Wiki]]a.

The Perl Foundation is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization based in Holland, Michigan.

''The [[Perl Wiki]]a has no formal association with [[The Perl Foundation]] at this time. But hey... that could change.'' <small>posted: 15:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC) by [[User:CQ|CQ]].</small>

The proposed [[CPAN]]:[[POE]]::[[Component]]::[[WikiaPerl]], if it works, might grant us a shot at being officially recognized as the Wikia chapter of the Programming Republic of Perl. (Ya gotta ''earn'' [[object|these kinds of things]])
