From PerlNet

While we grow this community, these collaborations may take longer than a week.

Each week, PerlNet editors nominate an article to become the collaboration of the week. The aim is to produce featured-standard articles, through widespread cooperative editing. This provides a focus for editing efforts and encourages the improvement and integration of content that is currently lacking or in need of attention on PerlNet.

To nominate a topic for collaboration of the week, please add a new section below. Your nomination should include why the topic is significant. Make sure to sign and date your nomination. To vote on a topic, simply add your vote (for/against), any comments, and your signature to the topic in question.

To include your signature, simply use four tildes ~~~~ or use the signature button in the editing panel.
