Robert, Jesse, Matt, All,

So I got an email from Robert and they are interested in re-thining/ 
working the perl.org design, and I thought we (the other interested  
parties) should start discussing what we could do about this.

My suggestions are as follows:

* submit for a TPF grant to get a professional designer to work on  
the Perl "Brand" as well as design some templates for us. $work does  
quite a bit of work with NYC ad agencies so I have a number of really  
good contacts for this type of thing.

* Content is the hard part, but I think we could leverage the great  
perl community for this. If we come up with a high level information  
architecture, and define a set of content "buckets" that need to be  
filled, we can put it to the community at large to help fill these  
buckets. With lots of small tasks and eternal glory promised to all  
who contribute in the form of a "contributors" page, I suspect we  
could keep enough excitement going to fill in a fair portion of the  
site. Obviously we will need an editor to clean everything up, but it  
would at least be a start.

Okay, thats all I got for a sunday morning and only a 1/2 cup of  
coffee in me so far.

Thoughts?
