Hi there!
In the 15 years since the Perl Weekly was first published we included posts from more than 800 authors. For 114 of them we have their LinkedIn profile, for 264 we have their PAUSE id, and for 200 we have a picture. I would love to get your help finding more. You can see the full list of authors. The source is in the src/authors.json file in our repository. Please help us locate more information about our authors. Send a PR or send me an email with links to the profiles of the authors. (If you send PR send a separate one for each author. That will make it easier to accept them.)
To make the LinkedIn information more useful I've also update the templates of the Perl Weekly and in each issue we'll include the link to the LinkedIn profile of each author. If we have it on file.
Discussing posts on Reddit: Many of the Perl Weekly posts have appeared on Reddit and some have active discussion. I used to embed links to these discussions in the text of the entry, but now Reddit got a separate field in our data files. From now we can include a little Reddit logo next to each entry linking to the respective Reddit post. I hope this will allow you to get involved in the discussion.
