| Calling for Parrot janitors                                        |

I've put on my overalls and rubber gloves to help Perl 6. I'm the chief
Parrot Cage Cleaner, and I'd like you to join me in helping to keep this
crucial bird healthy.

[0]Parrot is the virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and
execute bytecode for interpreted languages. Parrot will be the target for
the final [1]Perl 6 compiler, and is already usable as a backend for
[2]Pugs, as well as variety of other languages.

The Parrot project was re-energized by a week-long hackathon at
[3]YAPC::NA 2006, with Parrot wizards from around the world converging on
Chicago to create more magic. However, when wizards create magic, they
spend less time fighting entropy. The Parrot project is starting to
accumulate [4]technical debt, and that helps diminish the potential
velocity of the project. It often turns out that without janitors, the
wizards get stuck.

"CPAN is an unorganised anarchy. The checksum only guarantees that your
downloaded file is identical to the one on CPAN, but there's no guarantee
whatsoever that the file on CPAN is sane." -- Johan Vromans, reflecting
upon the joys of open source software.
