Decentralize, diversify and colonize

I've collected many of my thoughts on how Perl needs to move forward.

Some quite good points on improving the visibility of your perl projects..

I'd add some more points :
* You don't need to use bugtracking on googlecode instead of rt.cpan -
you can remove the tab and link to rt.cpan as I've done for the
autodia projects.
* Adding your project to, or using Ohloh means that every line of code
you commit, or project you add to your stack, or review proves the
vitality of the project and perl
* It's never either or - sourceforge, googlecode, etc provide
bugtracking, mailing lists, etc but you don't have to use any or all
of them - cherry pick what you need.

An intelligent collection of thoughts, definitely. The "colonize" =
section reminded me of something that I heard at work: "Well, we need to =
continue using Perl, otherwise we'd be f*****!" I know that's viewing =
the power of Perl from the other side, but with a small development =
department you really can't have a better tool than the Perl programming =
language.

That's my 50 =F8rer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98re ;-)

One idea is to bundle a package of tools and example scripts
much like what used to be called KPL for Kids Programming Language.
by Microsoft, now called Phrogram, I think.  Making Perl
more accessible and fun for newbies, and kids.

One of the comments mentioned developing more Games with Perl.
One of my pipe dreams is to be able to use Perl, instead of or as well =
as Python,
to program and control Blender 3D and its game engine.
