Well, I'm here, FWIW. Here's my 2 copper Lincolns regarding scope and topics: I see a place for each of the following kinds of documentation: - "How do I get started helping on Parrot"? - "What do the guts of Parrot look like and why?" - "I am a programmer with no Perl experience. Tell me why I should switch to Perl6." - "I am a Perl5 programmer. Tell me why I should switch to Perl6." - Online docs, a la the existing perlvar, perlfunc, etc - Tutorials, a la the existing perltoot wrt the first two...some documents of this sort already exist, but we could see what we can do to help/consolidate/clean them. wrt the last two...we may or may not want to use the existing formats. There was a discussion just recently of "cookbook" versus "online book" style. I personally favor "book", because cookbooks are less when you have a problem that isn't explicitly addressed, but that's just MO. --Dks
