Hey guys,
Since my last thread, i am quite interested in parrot now, i've been
playing with it a little i've stopped my gcc work to concentrate on
this and my programming language. But taking a peek around not sure
where to get invlovled i mean i've been looking at some bug fixes but
i am not sure where i would be more usefull. I hold access to the gnu
compile farm and wondering do you do much testing on more random
architecures like alpha or mips or sparc? Maybe thats were i could be
usefull. But if you have work in garbage collection or misc internals;
or i saw someone working on an LLVM backend sounds pretty cool. Any
suggestions would be great.

Welcome to the project, Phil!
Smoke reports from less-common architectures would be very nice. The
main problem there is availability of developers with access to those
architectures with knowledge and interest in fixing problems on those
architectures. It would certainly be useful to have, though.
I would like to second what tene said about smoke reports from less
common architectures. They are valuable -- and they're even more
valuable if the submitter can work on those boxes where debugging test
failures is needed.
