We're going to try something a little different. With Chip's blessing I've written a very early draft of the PDD for I/O (not numbered yet). The attached PDD isn't a completed document with Chip's seal of approval, it's a seed for discussion.

What I need from you all is comments. What's missing? What's inaccurate? What's accurate for the current state of Parrot, but is something you always intended to write out later? What thoughts have you had on how the I/O subsystem should work? All contributions cheerfully welcomed, from a single sentence to several pages of text.

Chip won't be making design decisions during the conversation. He may not even participate much, since part of the point is to split the work into parallel tasks so we can get more done than is humanly possible for one person. I'll use the discussion to write up a more complete PDD (probably with a few alternatives written in), and then work with Chip to review/revise it.

Thanks,
Allison
