I just wanted to let everyone know that some gears are starting to turn in this direction. We'll work on this the same as we do the rest of Parrot, drafting documents in the wiki so everybody has a chance to contribute, etc.

Off-and-on over the past year there have been sporadic conversations
about starting a foundation for Parrot separate from the Perl
Foundation. With 1.0 approaching, it's making more and more sense.
Parrot will be better able to approach the Python, Ruby, PHP, Lua, etc
communities if we're hosted by an organization that's not "Perl". It
makes sense for the Perl Foundation too, as they work to give equal
attention to all Perl 6 implementations. The Perl Foundation fully
supports the idea, and is willing to put whatever resources they can
behind helping us get the new foundation started.
