An extension of Perl6 POD would be interesting. As an option.

I like seeing Pugs svn commits on comp.perl6.language. Probably doesn't scale well in the long run, but it seems to be a very good idea to begin with. > Do you > want it to work with the concept of pages/topics or is there another > way you want to represent the data? Seems to work well enough for documentation purposes. It would be very cool if the Pugs svn doc tree was mirrored in a subsection of (the) Perl++ (Wiki), and could be {authored, edited} through Perl++. I think that {simplification, convenience} would greatly expand participation in generating Perl 6 documentation. Interesting side note: "perl++" on Google shows this link as the 3rd hit: (www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.users). Later on, a mechanism that made it feasible for smart IDEs to find relevant Perl 6 Cookbook descriptions in Perl++ and lift code samples would be very cool. > What kind of categorization do > you > want to support?

Omnipotent and clairvoyant. :-) But I'd settle for the minimum needed to thwart religious editing wars, spamming, and so on. > What basic actions do you want to perform for a page > (or whatever)? Don't know. How about whatever twiki does? It's perl-ish and appears to be a pretty substantial offering: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software). > That's a lot to answer, I know. I'm sure others can provide better answers. Just $perl6.say .... # Needs work.
