Blogs maybe all the rage, but for the TPF to feel it needs to create one so that it can judge the mood of the Perl community suggests that maybe they are a little removed from it?
Who said that http://blog.perlfoundation.org/ was created to "judge the mood"? More than anything, it's a single-point broadcast mechanism for what's going one. One of the comments we keep hearing is that people don't know what TPF is doing. We're working to make that happen.
It ought to be possible to garner a pretty fair idea of what the community is looking for, by simply moving amongst it and listening to what is being spoken about.
What exactly does "moving amongst the community" mean? Reading other people's blogs and journals? Attending conferences? Being subscribed to mailing lists? Everyone in TPF does all those things. Is there part of the community you feel we're missing?
