[Israel.pm] Central Wiki for Perl (?)

[Shlomi Fish]

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.

Regards,

	Shlomi Fish
