Wow! Thanks for doing the world this favour.

I !~ @Larry, but I have some specs in mind that can perhaps inspire
@Larry:
- MediaWiki-compatible syntax
- Most \W characters can be safely used
- Package names (CamelCase) can be used without them being transformed
into links
- Revision support with web based diffs and rollback
- Implement an svk frontend?
- Page hit for a moderately sized page should take no longer than 5
seconds
- Modularity is nice, but usability is more important
- Current Perl 6 implementations are still rather slow
- Use mod_pugs?
- Must be packaged for CPAN
And some non-spec thoughts:
- Think about forward compatibility
- Especially when it comes to syntax
- Implement a tagging system (better than Categories)
- Get someone with good design fu to design the graphical stuff
- And use templates
- Maybe just use the wikipedia layout
- Many Perl people are bad at graphical design, without realising it.
This wiki will be the first Perl 6 impression for many.
- Make pages cacheable
- Prepare for slashdot (not really... :))
- Perl 6 implementations are still slow
- Support ";" as well as "&" in URIs

Feather is of course available for this challenge. Contestants who don't
currently have an account, can request one by sending me an email (not
via the mailing list, please).
Once the wiki is finished (when the $1000 have been awarded), perl6.nl,
www.perl6.nl, is available to host the wiki.
Cheers,
Juerd
