Different attempts were made, by different core developers, and because of many reasons, we still don't have our official book finished.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">We have a big plan in mind. Writing a comprehensive book that will go from the very beginning of the project's philosophy to the deepest secrets of the framework. A book any PerlDancer fan would love to have. We know what needs to be written, but we need help.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">One of the main reason we don't have a book yet is the lack of time and focus, and the fact that hacking the code gets always a higher priority than focusing on a long-term brain-marathon such as writing a book.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">But. We want this book. You want this book. It HAS TO BE :)</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">So during the Perl Dancer 2015 conference, we chatted a bit about that, and had an idea. What about making that project a real priority, and what about trying to raise some money to give us time, group efforts, and resources to print it?</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Well, we did that. We launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise some funds for buying us time and letting us print the book, it's here:</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1856511822/perldancer-book" target="_blank"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1856511822/perldancer-book</font><br></a></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Please.
