I've always had a soft spot for PURLs. They never caught on like I thought they should have. However, they are still around and you can keep up with community news at Google Code now.
The PURL Open Source Software community site at purlz.org has been migrated from Zepheira's servers to Google Code. Accordingly, the mailing lists hosted at purlz.org are also migrating to a Google Group.
Please read this message carefully to avoid missing mail!-> Please subscribe! All new messages will go there. No new messages will be sent to the purlz.org mailing lists!
- The purlz.org DNS domain will redirect to the Google Code site, but you may wish the direct URL in case of any DNS migration issues. It is: http://sites.google.com/site/persistenturls/
