Re^2: Fix the Perl News header

Thanks for taking the time to update it. It might be worth adding a link to a stable perl5-porters archive (not Google Groups -- God knows what will happen to that), but your list is good: short and up-to-date. | [reply] |

I updated it a little more. I took out the language that says "post news on one of those sites"; instead, it says post here. :-)
Also - I hope you don't mind, Arunbear, but I took out the Enlightened Perl Ironman link. That's not really news; it's even less so than a blog, which is what most of the other sites are.

Ironman might not strictly be news, but e.g. it's where I go to get my daily dose of "what's happening in the Perl world". It's also much more fresh than the O’Reilly blogs section (which is more archive than news).

I don't understand why you'd remove Perlbuzz. While Perlbuzz is indeed "pretty much Andy Lester's playground", that doesn't mean it's not a good source of Perl news.

It's not. It's mostly a hand-created (and therefore highly biased) weekly blog aggregator, with a bit of editorial fluff.

That's right. It's curated.
If all that a feed does is aggregate, without distinction, everything posted from a given blog source, then it's not news. It's an unintelligent dump.
Besides, there's no such thing as "unbiased." Everything involves human decisions at some level.

I removed Perlbuzz simply because we've got a link to Perlsphere, which includes all updates from Perlbuzz plus much more.

That sounds sensible to me.
I wonder if it would make sense to also add Twitter feeds that are news sources. Of course I suggest @perlbuzz as the first obvious one, but I wonder if there are others. Then again, that I can't think of any offhand says maybe there aren't others, so never mind. :-)
