# Hello everybody

# to do when I
# want to do it) and am interested in helping out. What can I
# do to help?

Welcome to the team! Right now Configure is pretty stable. Most of the
work in the internals at the moment seems to be Simon hacking away at
getting PMCs (basically variables) working. You may just want to poke
around the Parrot package for now and get familiar with things.
Another thing you can try is implementing a little language for Parrot.
There are a couple examples of these in the languages/ directory of the
Parrot source distribution. Obviously you'll need to know Parrot
assembly to do that, but it's really not as hard as you'd think--the
sort of generalizations used for a Parrot compiler are often easier to
deal with then trying to implement a specific algorithm in assembler.
(Probably because Parrot is a pretty high-level sort of assembler.)
Whatever you do, have fun, and Happy Hacking!
