This repository serves as a way to report outdated information about Perl 6.
The primary goals are to provide a place for people to:
-
report outdated information about Perl 6 by creating issues
-
provide links to more accurate information by commenting on issues
-
track communication with the owner of the page requesting that it be updated
-
avoid duplicate attempts to contact the owner
This repo is primarily for tracking issues outside of the "perl6.org" domain (since things inside perl6.org already have their own trackers).
The title of the issue should begin with the URL of the page that contains the outdated information, without the http/https URL scheme prefix.
Only one issue should be created per URL.
-
add comments on issues giving links to more accurate information.
-
help determine the right person to contact in cases where that's not clear.
-
contact the owner of the page with a gentle request that it be updated, perhaps simply with a note and a link to the issue. If you do attempt to contact the owner, please add the author-contacted label and a comment.
Likely resolutions:
-
The owner of the page replaces the outdated information with accurate information: close the issue.
-
The owner of the page deletes the outdated information: close the issue.
-
The owner of the page adds a note to the page point out that it's outdated with a link to the corresponding issue: close the issue.
-
The owner of the page can't be determined, or is unresponsive or unhelpful: leave the issue open.
It would be possible to implement a browser extension to automatically inform people when they're looking at a web page with outdated information.
Similarly, a browser extension or other kind of utility, could simplify the creation of an issue to report outdated information as it's encountered, and avoid duplicate reports.
