  • Parrot and Perl 6 wikis moved to perlfoundation.org Fri, 29-Jun-2007 by Andy Lester

    For a year or two now, I've hosted the Perl 6 and Parrot wikis on my home server, on a not-too-fast DSL line, at rakudo.org. They've now been moved to the wiki infrastructure at perlfoundation.org, on a dedicated box. This means much better performance, so if you've tried the wikis before and found them slow, check them out now. The moved wiki workspaces are: http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/ Perl 6 http://www.perlfoundation.org/parrot/ Parrot http://www.perlfoundation.org/hackathon-chicago/
