### Details 
[Start ACT - Voyager](http://news.perlfoundation.org/2014/07/grant-proposal-start-act---voy.html)
We are pleased that the Grants Committee will approve and fund this grant.
This is one of the best areas where the community resources are spent.
We understand some people raised concerns about the premature schedule
in the proposal.  We request that the grantee will work closely with
the grant manager and keep the community posted with his progress.
We look forward to seeing more community feedback after the code is
published and tested.
Liz Mattijsen has been assigned as a grant manager.
[Book: Practical Approach to Web Programming with Perl 5](http://news.perlfoundation.org/2014/07/grant-proposal-book-practical.html)
We appreciate the enthusiasm and the proposal.  We are not
convinced, however, this grant delivers enough value for the community.
For such grants, we would like to have more cases made to show what it would offer beyond existing resources.
### Next round
The next round is in September.  You can [submit proposals now](http://www.perlfoundation.org/how_to_write_a_proposal).
