Just wanted to make sure that you knew about the official Perl 6, Parrot,
and Perl 5 wikis:
http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi
http://www.perlfoundation.org/parrot/index.cgi
http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi
In particular, note the "The Long Perl 6 Super-Feature List" entry in the
Perl 6 wiki.
The Perl 6 wiki in particular would be a great place to find and/or
contribute answers to your questions.
...
You might want to ask Audrey for a larger (i.e. easier to read) and maybe
updated version of the following Perl 6 Timeline that Larry showed in his
2006 State of the Onion 10. (There may be a better or updated image
available in one of her more recent presentations.)
http://www.perl.com/2006/09/21/graphics/x79.jpg
It really helps put schedule and status things in perspective (i.e. that
serious hacking on Perl 6 implementations only started comparatively
recently, versus initial Perl 6 discussions).

Subject: what can I do in perl 6 today?
Hi all,
I was wondering about this - people keep on asking about "when it will
be finnished" - I'm more interested in "can I do X in it" where X is
something I'm interested in and/or something I can contribute to
and/or something that I consider important for production code I want
to migrate to perl 6 in the future.
I'd be happy to host a page with a nice chart of what you can do and
what is needed to do it ( i.e. pugs, nqp, punie, low level stuff,
cp6an, etc).
Obviously keeping it up to date will be some work, in fact keeping all
the websites for perl 6 up to date is a significant piece of work that
the core developers don't have time for.
