Re^2: Advice on the best way to help the Perl 5 community

There was a grant proposal to solve exactly that problem in the latest Perl Foundation grant round. It was accepted but not funded. Part of the reason why it was prioritized lower than other projects is that the grant submitter is working on another grant already.

If anyone is interested in tackling that project, Schwern would be a good person to contact.

It means that TPF would fund it, if they had enough money. The either reject or accept each proposal, and the accept ones are ranked, and the top most ranked actually get the funds, until there's no more money left (simplified).	[reply]
