Re: Perl 6 Involvement

In order

Reading the Apocalypses and Exegeses is definitely helpful. There are five apocalypses and four exegeses so far. You can read the Apocalypses, Exegeses, and, if you're inclined, the synopses. (Though there's only one synopsis so far)
Perl 6 and parrot are, while closely linked, separate. Currently Parrot can use the help, unless you're in a position to duplicate Larry, which is the only way that perl 6's design will go faster. (If you consider the perl 6 parser/compiler separate from parrot, though, that's cool--we're working on that project as part of parrot)
The docs and testing for parrot are underway, and part of the parrot kit. We do, of course, always need more tests, more docs, and more general thumping
Folks of all skill levels are welcome. You don't need to be a whiz at C, or Perl, or English, though any one of the three is certainly useful.

Thanks for the reply :) So, read the apocalypses and exegeses (thanks for the links btw, don't know how I missed them), download parrot, take a look around, subscribe to the mailing list and I'm off. Any other things I should consider? Also out of curiousity, how many Perl Monks are involved in Perl 6 and/or Parrot development right now? Might be a good idea for a poll, (hint, hint).	[reply]

Yep, you've pretty much got it. A weak grip on your sanity never hurts either. :-P I'm not sure how many monks are involved in the parrot end of things--three or four at least, but I generally don't manage to keep handles and real names together, so I'm not sure. A poll may well be in order.	[reply]
