Fwd: new lists. perl6-internals-api-*

Sorry for the crosspost (the information was requested). This is where I
got the information on the new api groups. I've subscribed to the groups
but haven't seen any traffic on them yet. I don't see any reason to
believe that this wouldn't be authentic, but if it is, then if I'm not
missing some huge discussion somewhere, then somebody's got the cart
before the horse...

You know anything about this Nat? Nat, this also brings up another issue I
hadn't foreseen. If one person (Dan, Sarathy, or whoever, not picking on
anybody) leads so many working groups, how can that work into the fairness
system that we banged our heads together to eek out? Kudos to Dan for
(trying to) take on so much, but the wisdom of this is questionable, even
if he can handle all the work.

The frustrating part is that I actually want to participate in the parser
group. I think I have some to add. The problem is we don't have any
language definition from Larry yet, so figuring out a parser seems waaaay
premature. We don't even know what's desired in the core, since we're
looking toward a minimal core.
