Documentation?

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

Just created:

http://code.google.com/p/perlbal/

It has wiki, bug tracking, source browsing, etc.  The thing I like about its
wiki is that it's just an svn directory, so you can edit it via either
method (web or svn), and it retains history about who edited the wiki
how/when.

I hereby bless it as the place for the wiki, FAQ, etc.

Give me and/or Dormando your Google account's email address and we'll add
you as a member, so you can contribute to the wiki.  Which also means you'll
be able to commit to svn, should we ever put the code there too, but the
social contract will enforce ACLs:  you don't do what you're told you can't
do.  Normal commit policies[1] would still apply.
