Good idea. A fat new O'reilly tome will go some way to capturing mind share for perl6. Gathering ideas wiki-style is also very Web2.0. Perhaps perl6 could be marketed as such, what with the development style - "Perl6, the first Web2.0 programming language".
In any case, if the book comes out around the same time Perl 6.0.0 comes out there's still plenty of time ;-) On Fri, 14 Oct 2005 22:11:18 +0200 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I'd like to start by saying "DON'T PANIC!
