Re^3: Reorganizing or fixing Perl's documentation?

If you'd like a commentable Perldoc.com alternative, please build it.

You willing to provide a host if I build the app and port over the current documentation?

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

I've been working on plans for a "better perldoc" for a while now, so if you're going to work something I'd appreciate being contacted, so at least we can not duplicate mistakes. I've also got, at least for a while, a dedicated server I can use to host it.	[reply]

Should we start a mailing list and get down to brass tacks? Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing. Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.

I'm not a big fan of mailing lists, but I suppose something like that should be arranged.	[reply]

I've been secretly building a "commentable Perl documentation web app", which I call AnnoCPAN (for Annotated CPAN). There are still some issues but it already works as a proof of concept. The problem is the hosting; I've been thinking I'll have to pay for a relatively inexpensive host so that I can at least show it to the world; I hope that if it is successful perhaps it could be possible to get some donations or a sponsor to get decent hosting.
