Donating "Picking Up Perl" to Wikibook
Hello, I just saw your comment on Talk:Perl Programming and wanted to say you can donate your book here, if your willing to release it under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License with no invariant sections, no front-cover texts, and no back-cover texts. The best way to provide proof that you agree to releasing it under the GFDL is to change Picking Up Perl so that its clear that anyone can use, modify and redistributed it under the terms of the GFDL and include a link to a copy of the GFDL available on that website. --dark lama  12:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Of course it is already licensed that way, and if you download the book text itself indicates clearly the license information in the document. The question is whether or not it should be brought in as its own book or another one.  -- bkuhn 19:59, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * If I understand your question, You can donate it as it's own book. You don't need to merge into an existing book or anything. I would even be willing to help with the upload, if you need the help. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 02:34, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Honestly, it seems it is better than the existing Perl Programming book so I have been merging it in. If you think that's a bad idea, let me know.  -- bkuhn 02:38, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey, you're the author! Whatever you think is better probably is, and you're right that the Perl Programming book isn't in the best condition. It used to be a good example of progress and collaboration, but it's long been abandoned. Anything you do to make it better will be well appreciated.
 * On a side note, I'm planning to start a book soon about Perl 6. I figure it's significantly different enough from Perl 5 to warrant a separate book. I've been doing some work on a book about Parrot too. If you are interested in either of these projects, let me know. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 02:44, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
