Mostly Rakudo, but not only. >> If you decide which sub project you want to help, we can tell you much >> better what needs to be done, and even more so if you tell us what your >> strong skills are. > > I'm not sure what to say about my skills, although I'm pretty sure that I > would be more useful on Rakudo than Parrot.

There are others much more qualified to introduce you there, but I'll try it anyway. Probably the simplest thing is go to the bug tracker and look into the perl6 queue for things to do. Most builtins aren't so hard to implement, for example http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=56754 (I don't know if you can see that page without logging in, perhaps you have to go the "public" interface). In this particular case there's also no test yet for this method, so you could also consider to write a test first, A short introduction to that can be found here: http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/t/HOWTO There are tests for similar features here: http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/t/spec/S29-num/ Patches to rakudo can be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], patches to the test suite either to this list, or you can get a commit bit for the pugs repository immediately (the tests live in the pugs repo) - just tell me your desired nick name, and I'll send you an invitation. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask. Moritz -- Moritz Lenz http://moritz.faui2k3.org/ | http://perl-6.de/
