I stopped publishing Perl 6 summaries directly on Perl.com because it was a poor investment of time and resources to do so. (They weren't popular enough to justify the investment.) Please note that this has no bearing on my or O'Reilly's judgment of Perl or Perl 6.

When new Perl 5 or Perl 6 summaries become available through the syndication feeds, I add them to the article list on the site.

I am publishing fewer new articles on the site partly out of a desire to reduce the costs of running the site and partly to see how that affects traffic. To make up for the lack of new information, I've recruited a handful of webloggers to write about Perl every week or two.

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to complete a site redesign to promote the weblogs much more prominently yet. We do have the new design finished, but other O'Reilly Network-wide projects have had a higher priority within our production group. I hope that we can introduce the redesign in the next couple of weeks.

(As a side note, it's probably better to ask people to direct any questions to me rather than bring them up on any forum. I happen to read this one, but I don't participate in most Perl mailing lists, IRC channels, other websites. You have a better chance of getting answers from the people who know if you ask them directly, rather than hoping they'll see it somehow.)
