Some of you may have noticed the announcement at &lt;A HREF="http://yetanother.org"&gt;yetanother.org&lt;/A&gt; regarding Perl Monks and Yet Another Society.  
The details are not 100% set yet but I thought I'd let you in on what has been going on.
&lt;P&gt;
Yet Another Society and BSI (EDC's parent company) have long been closely associated.  
YAS's mailing address is in Holland and both
are sustained by &lt;a href="http://thepope.org"&gt;Kurt the Pope&lt;/A&gt;.  Since we decided that PM
was no longer a for-profit venture it seemed to make sense to allow people (and BSI)
 to be able tax-deduct their contributions towards the operating costs of the site.
&lt;P&gt;The power structure for the site will remain unchanged.  
I will maintain my status as the (hopefully) beneficent dictator.
We will not be changing currency here. 1,000,000 XP and $1.09 will still buy you a 20oz 
bottle of Fruitopia at your neighborhood Mobil station.
&lt;P&gt;
A lot of the specifics remain to be hashed out.  
This is however in general what will likely happen.
I'll keep you posted.
