This organization has the sole focus of creating a better IDE experience for Perl users. This is not an effort for creating a new Perl IDE tool and we do not focus on a single available IDE or editor, like VSCode or Emacs or VIM, but we care about any development environment.
Perl-IDE organization is made by the Perl community looking at Perl's support quality in different development environments. Allowing users (individuals and companies) to rest assured they won't have issues on finding well documented and supported Perl support in any IDE/editor they choose.
The three following goals are the guides to our existence:
- Bundle as many projects as possible, related to developer experience on programming in Perl, under this organization umbrella;
- Track issues in different projects, not directly related to Perl (vscode, vim, nvim, textmate, language servers, ...), but affect Perl programmers' life quality, making sure Perl support in different tools is up to the same level of quality as seen in other languages support;
- Share knowledge, toolset, libraries, guides or any other material to allow overall better developer experience.
We accept any ideas, suggestions, questions and answers from the community, meaning that this organization is the main source or, even, the house of many future projects.
If you want to start a discussion around an idea or suggestion or anything else, you're more than welcome to start with a discussion. However, always make sure to present any information or sources that may help others to understand your idea/suggestion/criticism better. We have enabled discussions in this organization to allow asynchronous conversation between the members, so be patient.
On the other hand, in case you maintain a project that seems to meet the organization goals, don't hesitate on create a discussion sharing a bit of its history, goal, core contributors you would like to invite and so on. Then, based on the members' and other maintainers' opinion, the project will be able to be transferred directly from your namespace to the Perl-IDE namespace.
