...wouldn't it be more prudent to contribute to the existing effort...?
Sure, and that's exactly what people are doing. While following what autrijus is working on, a lot of people have been able to pick up some knowledge of how Perl 6 will work. They've found difficult and ambiguous sections of documentation. They've asked questions. They've found things that didn't seem to work. They've written code and contributed test cases. All of these things help to improve Perl 6 and will help to shorten timeline to get to Perl 6.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
