Hi Jacinta! With your permission I'd like to move the present and future content of the Perl-Begin MediaWiki:
http://perl-begin.berlios.de/site-resources/wiki/ To http://perl.net.au/ . There isn't too much there and maintaining a mediawiki on the berlios.de servers is painful. I'm already maintaining 5 MediaWiki instances on a different host but I got root there, which helps a lot. perl.net.au seems to be in much better shape anyways, and I'd rather consolidate the stuff there. I promise I'll do it manually and carefully. So far all the content on the Perl-Begin wiki has been authored by me except for the following essay: http://xrl.us/oxve I'm a bit hazy about its licensing, but I know the author has tended to prefer the Public Domain for his code, so I guess this essay will also be OK. Soon I'll set up a wikis page on the perl-begin site.
