            <h1>
              Extended Core
            </h1>

            <p>
              The Goal of the EPO-EC working group is to produce a list of modules that are considered "Best of Breed" 
              modules for domains typically encountered by a large Perl enterprise or consulting business. This list 
              will be package into a standard distribution and work will be made to integrate this distribution with 
              the standard installation channels for popular operating system vendors.
            </p>

            <p>
              The chairman of the working group Chris Prather gave an 
              <a href="http://www.shadowcat.co.uk/archive/conference-video/yapc-na-2009/extended/"introduction</a> 
              to the EPO Extended Core project 
              at YAPC::NA 2009 in Pittsburgh. This talk followed Matt Trout's
              <a href="http://www.shadowcat.co.uk/archive/conference-video/yapc-na-2009/std">Catching an STD</a>
              which provided a good 
              introduction to the reasons for starting such a project.
            </p>

            <p>
              The structure of the project is defined in the 
              <a href="http://github.com/perigrin/epo-ec/blob/master/documents/charter.txt">charter,</a>
              but the basic Gist is:
            </p>
            
            <p>
            <ol>
              <li>Create a <a href="http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/epo-ec-advisors/">list of Advisers</a></li>
              <li>Identify a list of <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Task-Kensho">Domains and Modules</a>
              that the advisers agree are Best of Breed</li>
              <li>Package the Modules into a extended core version of Perl and work with vendors on getting it into distribution channels</li>
            </ol>
            </p>

            <p>
              Currently we are working on the first two items in this list, but we expect to be ready for the third soon.
            </p>
