I think we're hampered right now by the fact that we don't know much about what perl6 is going to look like. Until we get more specifics from Larry, and Dan helps us all work out the internals some more, there's not much to write about. Any mailing lists we need for documentation can definitely be hosted at perl.org. But we need something to document first :-) Nat

Barring anyone else doing it, I should go to YAPC and talk about perl 6's
guts, at least the bits available at that point. TPC too. ('Course, there's
the question of getting there, but that's a separate issue)

Re: We should have some YAPC talks on Perl 6
Giving talks at YAPC is a no brainer, and I see the criteria of creating public documents and the existance of a deadline being exceeding good things. Documenting the knowlege and preventing the authors from obfuscating the documents (by accident, of course) will generate far to much noise for the internals list to tolerate. Since we know we will need succeeding generations of internal gurus now is the time to develop the methodology of Perl education so that we dont have to go thru the pain of change later on. Its a karmic thing, there is no better language for documentation than perl. If perl.org is unacceptable for some reason I can easily create a mailing list on puny.vm.org John

Well, if you can't, I will. But I'd rather you could, so we two can sit down
and cabal this thing into existence.

Re: We should have some YAPC talks on Perl 6
I've got one ready to go on the topic of "Perl 6: the story so far". I'm presenting it next week at linux.conf.au and would be happy to submit it for YAPC and/or TPC. K.
