Allison, if you could arrange an official liaison on p6i that could
direct (in a definitive, buck-stops-here way) authors' efforts w/
regard to how perl6-specific tests should be written, we would be
grateful. We seem to have a decent number of people here willing to do
it, if they get some tutoring to start out.
Otherwise useful links include:
