Allison writes "Thanks to amazingly generous members of the Perl
community The Perl Foundation was able to fund Damian Conway, Larry Wall,
and Dan Sugalski in 2002-2003. In 2005-2006 we hope to repeat this
pattern and fund Larry Wall, Patrick Michaud, Leopold Tötsch, and a
second Parrot developer. Why now? For one thing, Parrot and Perl 6 are
both close enough to completion that a few full-time developers could
polish them off in a very small number of "Christmases". Another (more
urgent) reason is that we've just learned that we have about 6 weeks left
of Leo's time before he's forced to take a sabbatical from Parrot to
pursue the noble task of "putting food on the table". This would set the
project back by six months or more. So here we stand, on the edge of
acceleration or a severe setback. US $200 funds a day of developer time;
you can read more about it in the [0]Perl 6 & Parrot Proposal.

Our sincere thanks go to the German Perl Workshop organizers and
participants, who got things started by donating funds for just over 20
days of developer time."
