[Perl-org-patches] content and www/lean/history......

[Leo Lapworth]

On of the biggest issues I'm seeing from reviewing perl sites (other than
how ugly they look) is that so many of them are just the documentation put
into a webpage or long lists of things.

Documentation is usually written as a reference guide so something, not an
introduction, and so it really does not come across well on a web page.

Long lists are also not conducive to being read!

>From looking around more there seem to be a half dozen seperate sites using
subdomains...

learn.perl.org
history.perl.org
faq.perl.org
dbi.perl.org

I suggest these should be redirected to:

www.perl.org/learn
www.perl.org/history
www.perl.org/faq
www.perl.org/dbi

Interestingly, nothing has happened in perl since 2002:
http://history.perl.org/PerlTimeline.html#2000s

There is also a complete mix of links to various other sites on the bottom
of most pages, this means you end up bouncing from one perl site to another
and getting quite disorientated. This is probably is a bigger issue, but
just something I noticed.

Anyway, I'll wait until svn access then can actually get on with somestuff!
