-<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>
