Re: Rakudo newbies
The basic plan is to turn rakudo.org into a centralised rakudo info point. The plan is that all the information needed to be a developer will appear on it. If you want to help in the process, ask for some rakudo.org editing power on #perl6, and go to work on the docs. This new site is new enough that it's still very incomplete, but hopefully with a bit of teamwork, in a month or so we should have it to the point where it can help beginning developers. You can create an account on rakudo.org at will, but to be able to edit pages, you'll need privileges. Just email me for that. Thanks very much to Ross Kendall for his help in setting up the Drupal. We're building to usefully critical mass. xoxo, Andy -- Andy Lester => a...@petdance.com => www.petdance.com => AIM:petdance

We are meeting tomorrow (Thursday, March 19, 7:00PM) at a coffee shop with free wifi. The address is 985 W Bethany Dr Allen, TX 75013. This is more to the world of Perl 6, but you're the first person to go out there and do this. I love love LOVE starting to get people together to talk about Perl 6. It's a crucial step in letting people know that Perl 6 is real. However, starting social groups that say they are specifically about Perl 6 makes me uncomfortable. I think it would be better to call it Dallas.pm and just talk about Perl 6 in the meeting announcements. The key is that we don't want people to think they must choose one or the other. Technologically, Perl 5 and Perl 6 are very different, but culturally, they're very similar. Keeping Perl 5 and Perl 6 groups together also means that we will increase cross-pollination of Perl 6 onto the Perl 5 people.

I hope people see this as the positive that it is. This shows that the staggered Parrot -> Rakudo release schedule works. Thanks to everyone. xoa -- Andy Lester => a...@petdance.com => www.techworklove.com => AIM:petdance
