-<div style="text-align: right;"><i>sculpted in clay,</i></div><div style="text-align: right;"><i>then fired to glass.<br /></i><i><br /></i></div><br />Recently there was really long <a href="http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.sdl.devel/2009/09/msg1424.html">discussion </a>on sdl-devel@perl.org about providing packages for SDL perl rather than focusing on CPAN releases. The gists of the argument was that SDL perl should be making platform specific packages for end users. I agree with this idea but I do have to face the truth. <br /><br />The truth is there are very few developers currently working on SDL Perl. The truth is CPAN provides several tools that which currently drives development for SDL Perl. There are people interested in packaging SDL Perl (<a href="http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49003">kmx</a>, <a href="http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.sdl.devel/2009/09/msg1433.html">jean</a> and Jerome Quelin). The truth is there are other very <a href="http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49084">critical areas</a> we can focus on. <br /><br />If there are people looking to package SDL Perl for their platform please contact us at sdl-devel@perl.org.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-6565605958523853965?l=yapgh.blogspot.com'/></div></div></div>

+In the past week the SDL Perl team has been busy! This is what we have accomplished<br />
+<br />
+<br />
+<h3>Commitment to Testing!</h3>In an effort to focus on continuing our focus on testing we have setup a <a href="http://sdlperl.ath.cx:8080/app/public_projects/smoke_reports/1">Smolder</a> site for the SDL redesign process. Currently we have two platforms (linux, windows32) regularly tested on here. If there are more people following the redesign process and would like to share their test results; contact us at sdl-devel@perl.org and we will provide access to you.<br />
+<br />
+<h3>SDL::Video</h3>For the core development most of the focus has been on redesigning around the Video category of the SDL perl API. As of now we are <a href="http://bit.ly/2ar7bK">50% done</a>. 19 functions out of 38 functions have been implemented and tested. <br />
+<br />
+<br />
+<h3>Site Redesign + Migration</h3>On the end of the spectrum, Froggs has been hard at work on the <a href="http://froggs.de/sdlperl/">graphical design </a>of the site. More over with mst's help we will soon be migrating to http://sdl.perl.org. <br />
+<br />
+<br />
+<br />
+<h3>Documentation</h3>Moreover this week we have seen an increase effort from magnet on the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commits/redesign">SDL docs</a>. Kudos!<br />
+<br />
+<br />
+<h3>SWIG Experimentation</h3>Finally <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commits/swig">Katrina</a> has begun looking into SWIG as alternative for SDL in the future.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-5353247044730007101?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
