It's a slight improvement on the full url, but not exactly obvious to human or search engine that it's the or a wiki. > We could try to get links on the perl.org homepage. Any suggestions on what > category? I'd guess that it would come under both documentation and support. BUT.. most importantly : use a subdomain - wiki.perl.org One would assume that anything on the perlfoundation site or under it's domain name would be about or directly to do with the work of TPF, I would think that the wiki is directly to do with perl the language, and it's users, so more appropriate for perl.org > Conference season is nearly on us, and that can be a good time to spread > the word.

That will reach the usual suspects, really we need it to reach a wider audience, and a good url will help do that, as well as linking to it on perl websites, be they the ohloh page, or in perltoc or search.cpan or wherever.
