 Dan, Graham--should these lists persist in their current form?

Well I thonk that there should eventually be a perl6-stdlib, but
I think more needs to be known about potential new features before
much talk can begin.

I mean, first we must protect compatability, but if perl6 does have
the ability for mutiple versions of a module then we have the
oportunity to design a consistent library.

 perl6-all - Current mega-subscription list.  (What mailing lists does this 
 cover, and how is that determined as lists come and go?)  In use.

perl6-all is subscribed to all other perl6-.*@perl.org lists.
 
 perl6-language-unlink - Originally chaired by Nathan Wiger.  unlink().  
 Closed.  No archive, although there is a link to one.

it's already closed. I don't think it ever got used. At least, I
can't find any postings.
 
 perl6-meta - The catchall list chaired by Nat Torkington.  In use.

it's not catch all, it's for mails like these. :-)
 
 perl6-porters - A mailing list from Topaz days.  Freeze (if we want to 
 parallel p5p for maintenance and porting post Perl 6 delivery.).  Last post 
 was 15 Feb 2001.

hmpfr, it's not supposed to be alive.

 Michael Schwern's perl-qa is also on the list, and seems to be included in 
 perl6-all, although his stated goal (and the current traffic) isn't Perl 6 
 specific - hence the name.

Correct.
 
 The current page should probably break the lists up into two (or three, if 
 Frozen is acceptable) sections, for the current and closed lists.  Ask, I 
 can send you a revamped page after the details have been worked out (barring 
 Warnock's Dilemma).

That'd be great.

Please edit http://dev.perl.org/working-groups.txt (and if needed
http://dev.perl.org/build-wg-list.pl).
