I will be presenting about A/B testing at OSCON. Since I'm presenting in the web track, I can't assume that people have Perl. Besides I've strongly recommended that people create a significance calculator as a web page, so I wanted to demonstrate what that looks like. So I decided to kill two birds with one stone and write that in JavaScript.
For this purpose I've ported Statistics::Distributions from Perl to JavaScript. Which is fine and dandy for my purposes, but now I'm wondering whether I can contribute this code to some project somewhere. With Perl it is easy - everyone knows that CPAN is the place to do things like that. With JavaScript, what are my options?
Is that project still alive?

The last news update there was Jan 14, 2007. The last upload listed on the side panel was Sep 28, 2007. When I click on Contribute I'm taken to https://master.openjsan.org/jause/index.html, which my browser can't find.
When I look in Google for it I find that Ingy has something called Jemplate there which has a file dated Nov 2, 2007. Maybe there is something more recent that hasn't updated.
But all in all this looks like a dead project to me.

Not only is it dead, it is dead enough that it has almost completed the cycle – there has been talk about a revival recently.

In fact, there's been CODING on the revival recently.
Give it a little while, and everything should be running again.
Well when it is back...

I'll have a port of Statistics::Distributions to put up there.
It is surprisingly useful to be able to do those calculations in a web page.

We had a bit of a system loss a while ago, and it's been stalled while people wait on me to get things going again.
Alias and I got some ducks in a row last week and have a clear plan going forward.
Once I complete a few more small steps towards getting things working, I will make a formal announcement.
