If reading any of the 2013 Perl Catalyst Advent articles has inspired you to get involved, I've just posted the preliminary quest list for the next development cycle on questhub. Check it out, log in, vote, leave your thoughts etc.

The 'Runner' branch (which is named after the rare and endangered Runner or Indian Runner Duck) will open later this month, so this is your chance to review the goals for the continuation of the Catalyst version 5 series, let the community know your thoughts and learn about where we are going so you can share that information with your peers, bosses etc.

About the Indian Runner:

These ducks are easy to distinguish for nearly all other types of domesticated ducks due to how they stand nearly upright. They have powerful walking muscles and are tend to be tremendous foragers, so if you plan to keep these they are suitable mostly for people with the land to let them roam. If given the opportunity they will do a great job finding there own food and tend to be very good egg layers.

I have a large number of these ducks, and they'd often walk all the way around the back of my property to meet me at the garage door in the morning. See http://youtu.be/ZChFiKxFjaM
