pod2.perl.org: Perl documentation translation project

bepi on 2009-10-07T15:57:00

After several emails, discussions and feedback with worldwide Perl translators (thank you to all), I'm very happy to announce pod2.perl.org site and pod2@perl.org mailing list.

pod2.perl.org is intended to be the umbrella for several goals:

  • build a community of translators, by writing the guidelines, by sharing experience, resource, tools and so on.
  • (of course) do the translations of pods (core and extra) and publish them using POD2:: namespace.
  • discuss about a translation platform for pods (by creating a new one or better deciding to use an existing one, without to reinvent the wheel).
  • perldoc/Pod::Perldoc improvements.
  • publish readable version of translated pods using perldoc.perl.org code.
  • promote, more in general, localized Perl documentation.
If you are interested and/or you are involved in some Perl documentation translation project, please subscribe to the maling list (by sending a mail to pod2-subscribe@perl.org). The list archives are available at http://www.nntp.perl.org.
Currently pod2.perl.org contains a temporary home page. The main site is under pod2.perl.org/wiki (BTW, MojoMojo powered) and it contains a brief summary of translation projects.

Have fun with pod2.perl.org!

Best
