perl6-modules list?
Hi Ask, perl6-meta, and perl6-stdlib, Today at YAPC in the Perl 6 session there was some discussion of modules and what work needs doing in that area for Perl 6. Basically it breaks down the following two topics: WHAT goes into the core? (covered by perl6-stdlib) HOW do we write Perl 6 modules? My notes can be found at http://infotrope.net/opensource/software/perl6/modules/ where I discuss the work that needs to be done on the how side, particularly the issue of a style guide documenting best practice for Perl modules and how we can hopefully apply this best practice as we rewrite modules for Perl 6. I would like to set up a perl6-modules to discuss this topic, which I believe is separate from the question of what goes into the standard library. Discussion should probably be on -stdlib until -modules is set up. Thanks in advance, K.

Let's be fair. We're not getting much done, and that's a *GOOD* thing. Language design is a very tough nut to crack, and we decided (as a group) that we don't want a language designed by committee, we want a languaged designed by Larry. The best we can do (frustrating as it may be) is to let him think deeply. Wasn't he meant to be keeping us up to date with snippets of what he's doing/thinking about? I recall Nat posting a couple of months ago that he'd talked to Larry and Larry had said he'd do this. K.
perl6-language needs admin help too :)
As many of you may know, I've recently moved to the other side of the world, and my life's a bit hectic. I hadn't counted on p6-l bursting into life just now, and while I'd like to keep right up to date with it I really can't guarantee daily reading. Would anyone like to volunteer to do weekly summaries and/or general list admin? K.

Perhaps some feelers on newsgroups might be a good place to start. Personal experience shows that this could be a win, though. Open Source Writers Group (http://oswg.org/) is a good starting point. I'm subscribed to their mailing list. I can think of a couple of other good places to try, too, but they're a bit politically incorrect to mention in this context :-/ K.
