Write a Patch for Web-CPAN and Get an "Ozy & Millie" T-Shirt
As a special offer to encourage other people to become involved, the
web-cpan project is going to offer
Ozy and Millie T-Shirts to the
first 5 people who contribute one substantial patch or several smaller ones
(to the discretion of our judge.)
The process is as follows:
-
Write the patch, or
announce your intentions to
me and then write it. You can also send a pull request.
-
Choose a shirt from the
store and email me your shipping address, shirt size and cut, and other
required details.
Why this Offer?
This offer was started from the following reasons:
-
To encourage contributions for the Web-CPAN Projects.
-
To bring some publicity to the Ozy
and Millie comic, which is a very cool, and a highly aesthetic, comic by
a very cool artist.
-
To bring some monetary help to the O&M cartoonist. (Directly and
Indirectly.)
What Can I Find in Web-CPAN?
Web-CPAN concentrates developement for several CPAN modules and other projects:
-
Test-Run - a new
and improved test harness for analysing TAP output, based on Test::Harness,
but heavily revamped (and API incompatible with it.)
-
CGI-Application-NetNewsIface - a
readonly web frontend to a remote NNTP (Usenet) server ultimately aimed to
replace the existing one on
www.nntp.perl.org, but also serve for
similar needs.
-
HTML-Widgets-NavMenu
is a sophisticated generator for HTML navigation menus. See
this call for
volunteers for what needs to be done.
-
XML-CompareML - a module to
render CompareML, an XML-based grammar for comparisons into HTML or DocBook.
Right now, we could really use an interactive web interface to query and also
modify such a comparison.
-
Latemp
is an offline Content Management System (CMS) based on Web Meta Language,
and several CPAN modules. It could use some love, too.
-
Test-Count
is a module for keeping track of the number of tests in a test script.
-
XML-Grammar-ProductsSyndication
is a new project to define an XML grammar for syndicating products (like books,
movies, CDs, etc.) on one's home site. It's still in its infancy. Contributions to it will be more than
welcome.
And there's a lot of other stuff on my open source projects page.
