But when we say litteral array, do we talk about the representation or the value? BTW: I am delurking. I don't know which value I can bring to this project except the occasional comment, especially not being a native English. I agree that perl6 needs a good reference documentation both for the sake of the implementers and the users. I am not sure about the high granularity, I hate clicking my way thru a document made of very small web pages because of the high latency of the web. So I would like that the documentation be (also) available in large pages even if they are broken in small logical chunks. -- stef > > > -- > Garrett Goebel > IS Development Specialist > > ScriptPro Direct: 913.403.5261 > 5828 Reeds Road Main: 913.384.1008 > Mission, KS 66202 Fax: 913.384.2180 > www.scriptpro.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
