Great! Thanks!

Looks very nice. The Google Translate feature seems to yield an error, but 
that may be caused with NoScript. I personally don't need this feature, but 
some people may find it useful.

I also see we missed:

http://lists.perl.org/list/perl-beginner.html

It still uses the old egroups.com URL, which should now be 
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/perl-beginner/ .

I see the JSON file is at:

http://lists.perl.org/data.html

(reachable from http://lists.perl.org/siteinfo.html )

Now the question is what do we do about the duality between lists.json and the 
mailing list information on the Perl 5 Wiki . Should we still try to sync 
future changes from the wiki into the JSON? Should we just maintain the JSON 
and let the information on the wiki be hand-synced or rot? Should we aggregate 
information from lists.json into the wiki?
