Hi there,

So the Perl Weekly Challenge - has an awesome impact. It encouraged a number of people who have never blogged anything about Perl, to publish articles week by week. It brought out some of the old-timers from their caves. It even managed to get Damian Conway to write more frequently. It is clearly the project with the biggest positive impact on the Perl community in recent years.

Check out the web-site to get more information and also to read about Mohammad S. Anwar, the man behind the PWC. How he got into programming

Enjoy your week!

Gabor Szabo
