    Or perhaps a desktop environment in Perl?

    Hi,
    I like all of your ideas and suggestions, they mirror my thoughts for near-future development for this application. If you are serious, and I suspect that you are, rather than provide these on freshmeat as a patch, i think that they should be included as a part of the 'original' package. Please, contact me at me@perlbox.org . There are other portions of the desktop that I want to work on and have the ability and desire to turn portions of the project over to capable hands.

    Thanks,
    scmason

  3. slashdot frontpage spamming adverts? by new500 · · Score: 2 · on Perlbox: A Unix Desktop Written in Perl

    . .

    is it only me, but when I clicked through to the frontpage link PerlBox.org I'm getting redirected to http://www.camelotnaturals.com/ a site selling herbal bath salts????

    seriously, mod me down if I'm wrong (I can take it :) but this is silly, has someone effectively spammed the front page?

    Can someone else check?

    Could someone have switched on a redirect after the editors posted the story, for profit? Did the editors check?

    Somehow I've checked this now 6 times, and I still have a problem with disbelief . . .

    The perl camels, in apparent frustration and perplexity at their failure to produce a decent geek desktop application, have announced today a new line of business manufacturing bath and body products, and soy wax candles.

    In accordance with this change, visitors to PerlBox.org are now automatically redirected to CamelotNaturals.com , complete with a product catalog and ordering information.

  8. funding by psyclone · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Perlbox: A Unix Desktop Written in Perl
    I think it's cool that this group received part of a research grant to fund this project. An important thing to note is that software experiments like this are a science in a way -- they're looking at a problem and trying to solve it in a new way, and publishing their results.

    more open source projects could easily benefit from a funding model like this. There seems to be research money floating around universities (mine included) that could easily go to open source projects; it just may not be the project you want to work on, but hey, getting paid isn't so bad.
