Good idea. A fat new O'reilly tome will go some way to capturing

I would suggest we avoid trying to link Perl6 with Web2.0 in people's

tired of fighting is convincing people that Perl is good for more
than CGIs and quick-n-dirty system administration hacks. We don't
need to throw fuel on that fire by "nicheing" ourselves right at the
start.
