As you may know, TPF funded my grant to rewrite Test::Builder to support the
new test library features people have been asking for over the last six or
seven years of it's life that it doesn't currently support well.
One of the first things I'd like to address is how I've handled the dev
community. Test::Builder has been all about removing myself as a bottleneck
to writing new and interesting testing stuff. Test::Builder itself removed my
opinions about what should go into Test::More from holding people back.
Test::Builder2 will allow others to create their own Test::Builder-style
modules, so even my ideas about what Test::Builder should do won't hold people
back.
Now I'm a bottleneck on getting work done on Test::Builder, patches aren't
getting committed. To fix this I'm moving the repository from my own custom
host over to a hosted system, one which will make it easy to hand out commit
bits, monitor commits, make reviews and comments and approve issues for work.
I've chosen Google Code because it does basically everything I want, uses
Subversion which we're used to, everything talks to and makes importing the
repo easy. Also I can just bother Andy Lester if I can't figure anything out.
:) The repository import is in progress.

Next step is to get people who want to contribute to the project signed up as
project members. To do this, please send me your Google account email address.
Once signed up, feel free to mess about with the settings. I've done the
basics. Anything major, please discuss in irc://irc.perl.org/test-more
Let's write some fucking code. :)
