POD2 Project Launched

Posted by ajt on Thu 8 Oct 2009 at 11:25

The Perl documentation translation project (POD2) Launched.

pod2.perl.org as a umbrella for several goals:

build a community of translators, by writing the guidelines, by sharing experience, resource and 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 http://pod2.perl.org/wiki (MojoMojo powered) and it contains a brief summary of translation projects.
