I think it's somewhat of an exaggeration to claim that use.perl.org
has "disappeared into obscurity." Certainly, it is not very well
maintained; its front page, in particular, has often seemed untended
as of late. (Currently the most recent front page article is one
posted on May 23.)
However, I do find that its "Recent Journals" pane is very useful.
Many people who blog elsewhere cross-post to use.perl.org. Consider
Patrick Michaud's recent post about Rakudo* and its July 29 release:
http://use.perl.org/~pmichaud/journal/.
I think use.perl.org is also useful for people like me who blog only
infrequently. It means I don't have to set up my own blogging site
or learn yet another blogging or wiki format. I don't want to
discourage people from using blogs.perl.org. It's just that it's not
the only game in town.
Frankly, it would be better if the management of use.perl.org were
transferred to someone other than the current maintainer(s) so that
it could be given a good facelift.
