Much to my surprise, The Perl Foundation has approved the grant proposal for Mango. For those who hadn’t heard about Mango yet, it is going to be an “ecommerce solution” built using Catalyst+Handel. The main goal of Mango is to be one of those ‘Web 2.0′ buzzword applications [but better] to help promote Catalyst outside of the circle of us who already know its virtues.
Please feel free to add any comments, thoughts, concerns, requirements etc to the Mango wiki space.
Right now, I’m still pushing hard to get Handel 1.0 done so I can dole out maint bits and concentrate on Mango. I’m also a bit in shock about the grant. I’m a little bit hyped, a whole lot scared, and quite a bit rock and roll. Here’s hoping that I can live up to the promises I’ve made and not make us all look bad in the process.
