+>A Little History</a></h2>
+
+<p>Why are these pages new?
+In October,
+David Göhrig,
+the creator and maintainer of SDL Perl,
+announced that he was quitting his job,
+selling all his stuff,
+and going backpacking in Europe for a few months.
+That left SDL Perl without a maintainer or a home.
+But SDL Perl is back and running with Kartik and David's help.</p>
+

+<p>Hopefully,
