You can find more information on the speaker's site:

From then on, the community has grown into a "social network", whatever that means, facing very common scalability problems. The code has been rewritten 3 times from scratch in the past, and the current dev team is now at a turning point.

This is an updated version (V2) of the talk presented at the Italian Perl Workshop in Sep 2008.
