Hi all! I'd like to start the long task of updating http://history.perl.org/PerlTimeline.html which has been stopped at 2002. What I'm planning to do is:
1. Make the document validate: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A//history.perl.org/PerlTimeline.html 2. Convert to XHTML 1.1. 3. Add more links and news items (that would be the hardest part) in the following years. Also prune some dead links. Note that I have some affiliations. I'll fork the document to a temporary location (with a note). The copyright reads: <<<<<<<<<<<<< The Timeline of Perl and its Culture ©1999-2001 Elaine Ashton. Permission is granted for use of this document in whole or in part for non-commercial purposes. For commercial uses, please contact the author first. Links to this document are welcome after e-mailing the author with the document URL where the link will appear. >>>>>>>>>>>>> I don't know if it can be modified while retaining the same licence (I've CCed her to ask her just in case.) If the HTML is generated from something else, it would be useful to know that now, but it doesn't seem that this is the case for it. Perhaps Elaine would like to specify a Creative Commons licence for it. Anyway, if you can think of any events that should be added, please email me in private. Best Regards and thanks in advance, Shlomi Fish ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ Best Introductory Programming Language - http://xrl.us/bjn84 The bad thing about hardware is that it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't. The good thing about software is that it's consistent: it always does not work, and it always does not work in exactly the same way.
