Today, I posted on the ny.pm mailing list an announcement that I will attempt to organize a Perl 6 Beginners study group in New York City.

I have been advised that for an introductory-level group, the Rakudo Star release would be the way to go. However, when I went here:

  http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo/

... I read this:

    "NOTE: the Rakudo Star with 6.c Christmas Perl 6 release is not yet
     available. Check back soon or try one of the older versions."

This is what, back in the day, we used to call a 'bummer'. We have people -- including non-Perl programmers -- excited about Perl 6 -- but we don't have the easy on-ramp.

Is there a timeline for the release of a Rakudo Star with 6.c?

Thank you very much.
Jim Keenan
