Parrot's homepage http://www.parrotcode.org/ is out of date.
"the current release is version 0.0.10", "Where are we", etc.

The site has several automation failures.
ERROR RETRIEVING DATA messages in http://www.parrotcode.org/todo
and http://www.parrotcode.org/openpatches
The script which generates http://www.parrotcode.org/faq/ apparently
mixes stdout and stderr, so it currently begins
  Revision 0.5 - 04 September 2002 in paragraph 25. trong>

I was also struck by the homepage and FAQ's tone of "parrot is for
perl6, but may someday work with another language, maybe".

http://www.parrotcode.org/examples/ is out of date.

http://www.parrotcode.org/talks/ has its most recent talk in 2002.

Also, http://dev.perl.org/perl6/pdd/ is out of sync.
No pdd16.

A new release draws new attention, this release perhaps more than most.
The public face of parrot is that of a project which died a year ago. ;)

Perhaps cleaning up the web site should be added to the release objectives?
At least slapping on big "out of date" warnings.

Perhaps the web pages should be moved into CVS?
