If Parrot's intended as a foundation for HLLs and libraries, we should only keep libraries in core that match one of the following criteria: The library should be necessary for the Parrot build, be something that we expect most HLLs to use as-is, or show library hackers how to do something that they'd have trouble finding elsewhere. I'm happy moving anything else into a separate repo, either a junk drawer or a dedicated project. As an aside, I'm more than happy to see such projects added to all_hll_test (which we can rename to test_all_the_things or something more appropriate) so that they're less likely to end up bitrotted. _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
