feather is a corporate sponsored machine dedicated to: * helping Perl 6 development in every sane way (including Parrot) Effectively, this means that every Perl 6 enthusiast can get an account. Automated pugs builds is provided by Audrey, as is a local SVK repository. Users get web space, mail and shell access. There are currently 68 user accounts. Some users have written a .plan, and you can read theirs at <http://feather.perl6.nl/cgi-bin/finger.pl>. A list of users who make documents available on the web is available at <http://feather.perl6.nl/~/>. At this moment, 17 distinct end users run processes. Feather runs Debian GNU/Linux and is a Pentium 4 2.80 GHz with 2048 MB RAM and S-ATA drives in RAID1. It's hosted in a datacentre in Schiphol-Rijk (near Amsterdam Airport Schiphol). The name "feather" is a word play on BoF-sessions, Pugs's "Featherlight Perl" ancestry, and the outside layer of parrots :) As promised in previous communication about the Perl 6 Wiki, feather is available to host it, on the hostnames "perl6.nl" or "www.perl6.nl". A dedicated IP address is already reserved for this purpose. I must say I'm a bit surprised that you hadn't heard of feather before. Apparently I should try even harder to get the word out.
