Hi Chris, all, I gotta say that all of these ideas look good, but my heart is not in them, except possibly working on PP warnings, general documentation, and the PDL book. The two driving factors for my interests these days are (1) finishing and releasing my own new plotting module based on the Prima toolkit, and (2) giving an introduction to PDL at the next Chicago PerlMongers meeting (late October). The first item involves some very sophisticated code generation, and my efforts to document my own code generation machinery has led me to study the PP Rules very closely. As a side effect, I may update the documentation to PDL::PP as well as work on warnings for strange items when PP is parsing things. The second item may lead to me to work on the documentation for slices as well as PP, and maybe even take up the PDL book.
I hate to come out and say "I'll be working on X" because I often end up not getting much work done after such pronouncements. However, the two underlying motivations aren't going away. I use my plotting library already in my work, and I *will* be giving a talk at the PM meeting. So the chances of this stuff getting done is higher than in the past, I hope. Another item that I would be interested in working on, but is likely to slip through the cracks, is the callback slice operation, which should probably actually be called 'on_change' instead. That has great potential for use as well as improvement. If I end up using it in my plotting library, I may work on it and submit it. Otherwise, I'll need enthusiasm from the community to finish it.
