If you're looking for something to do, we *always* have good little jobs for people. :)
1) See if there's a neat way of making the assembler grok shortened forms of ops: add I1, I2, I3 => add_i I1, I2, I3 print S1 => print_s S1 2) Extend the Configure.pl system to autogenerate the Makefile as well. Use Makefile.in as a template, and fill in things like LIBS. 3) Move all the header files to "include/" and have the C source #include "parrot/include/" 4) Send me and Ben a patch to munge all the function names to meet the coding standards. You could even send a Perl script to do it! 5) Implement some more string encodings. docs/strings.pod tells you what you need to do. 6) A test suite! My kingdom for a test suite! Simon
