The [official Perl 5 wiki](http://p3rl.org/wiki) has recently become
unusable for its original purpose, see the
[announcement](http://use.perl.org/~schwern/journal/33751). It is
currently impossible to register as a new user. I sent an email to
<sup...@socialtext.com> six days ago and have yet to receive an
acknowledgement/reply/fix.
I am looking for a champion to take up the cause: investigate what's
going on and keep nagging so that access to registration is restored.
In case we cannot get satisfaction in a reasonable time, let's consider
cutting ties. Some initial thoughts:
* Export everything, tools available from
<http://search.cpan.org/~lukec/>.
* Evaluate Perl wiki softwares and import. Should support [Wiki
Creole](http://enwp.org/Creole_(markup)) and
[Markdown](http://enwp.org/Markdown) syntaxes for editing. Usability
must pass mst's opinion as "not crap". Must not have URL cruft.
Insert your own favourite bikeshed colour here.
* Find a reliable host for the software: Perl NOC/digital
craftsmen/speedchilli/etc.
* Ask [Perl NOC](http://noc.perl.org/) for `wiki.perl.org` CNAME.
* Send webmasters of perlfoundation.org and socialtext.net some
configuration snippets for their Apache httpd and nginx so that the
legacy URLs permanently redirect to the new ones.

I guess you are talking about https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/

While I would like to have a better solution but in the meantime
there is the big "Registration and Support" link at the top that leads
to a page which tells me to ask one of the administrators to get a new
account.
Unfortunately I am the only one listed there :-(
I don't have any more powers there but I can add new users.
