Is this a Perl 5 or Perl 6 project?

If it's Perl 5, it doesn't sound very interesting. There are many P5 CMS projects already.

If it's Perl 6 that's much more interesting. If that's the case, will this project be able to make use of the last grant period's P6 web stack work? I'd hate to see people reinventing these wheels before Perl 6.0 even exists!


I agree with autarch that yet-another P5 CMS is definitely not needed.


Why would you write a perl CMS and assign copyright to the Parrot foundation?


I have been a Parrot 'cage cleaner' for over two years. The applicant(s) claims also to be a Parrot 'cage cleaner', but I do not recognize the name. There is someone who signs his name as 'Igor' but he only submits nuisance tickets.


Hi,

I searched in internet and I found only one cms(with an artistic licence or similar) but is not as robust as joomla.

The most part of the cms use templates for showing the data to the front side, they don,t use the capabilities of dynamic html(dhtml) and many times they don't have enough documentation, jquery encapsulates dhtml an if necessary I can use plain javascript to.

if we add ajax to this formula we can reduce de complexity of the back end and have a more "dynamic" front end, with templates it seems to me is not comparable with javascript and css.

In this pages is swowed the beauty of css, I don't intend to make something like that, is only to show what some templates can`t do

Is a perl5 project, perl 6 is not a robust language yet, and for making aplications I only want to know that all errors are made for me and not for the compiler.

Like is said for perl 5 there are too many ways for making the same thing, the combination perl jquery is a beautyful one and if it likes to me probably likes to many programmers.

The parrot foundation copyright is because this way the cms is protected against my mood of changing the licence or something similar.

I said I'm a cage cleaner(I am) for the reason that this way the community knows me and they don't think I'm going to run with the grant.

Sincerely,

Igor
