From scott at slowass.net Thu Jul 3 07:42:32 2014 From: scott at slowass.net (Scott Walters) Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2014 10:42:32 -0400 Subject: [Phoenix-pm] Kickstarter to hone a popular Perl enterprise CMS into a WordPress competitor Message-ID: Hi Phoenix.PM, At YAPC about a week ago, during Lightning Talks, I announced a project to rework a popular enterprise (crazy numbers of high end features, large companies and governments use it, but too hard to use for small companies and church groups and such) to compete more directly against WordPress. Perl needs end user applications and a CMS in particular to draw in new developers. Things written in Perl create relevance for Perl. Application frameworks are important, but most new sites are created using WordPress. A CMS gives you user accounts, messaging, password recovery, group permissions, moderation, and a host of other features from the start, and then offers APIs and marketplaces for extending it into different types of sites. This particular system is little known inside the Perl community but is popular in the real world (google "content management system comparison site"). It had its own conference that drew hundreds of people each year: http://www.plainblack.com/uploads/9P/mi/9PmiI41MERx7H9WQrqIJkQ/DSC00103.JPG The code was GPL'd. It has a fiercely loyal user base that swears that it's better architected and nicer to code on than any competing system. And it's written in Perl. The Perl community has traditionally been apathetic about applications written in Perl, but I want to change that. I wouldn't be here today if JaWS at UMN wasn't working on the WebCT online course system, and Motorola didn't have hundreds of internal users running faq-o-matic, awstats, and dozens of other things written in Perl. PHP had a huge win in proudly advertising things written in their language. No code will ever be "good enough", but we need to create symbiotic relationships with Perl apps anyway. So, please pledge generously to my Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2083389021/create-perl-competition-to-the-php-content-managem I'm posting background and factoids and thank yous to my Twitter stream too: http://twitter.com/scrottie.
