My guess is that there will be a shared prelude that is maintained in a central repository like the spectests, but that individual implementations are likely to want or need customized versions of the prelude for performance or implementation reasons. In this sense the shared prelude acts as a "reference standard" that implementations can use directly or optimize as appropriate. > And we might also want to > import STD.pm from the pugs repo in the future.

Similar to Rakudo's need to follow Parrot's HEAD closely but not directly, I suspect this is a place where individual implementations will want to track STD.pm versions closely but rarely use the latest version directly. Otherwise changes to STD.pm in the shared repository have the potential to inadvertently break an implementation. > > Web site / blog / wiki > > ---------------------- > > Currently Rakudo really does not have a dedicated website > > providing basic information about it.

(Simplest way: leave as is. Second simplest: > <img src="http://rakudo.de/progress.png"; .../>) Yes, thank you for this important addition. I did remember it at one point yesterday, but forgot it at the time I was crafting my message. My intent is that the daily spectest updates will automatically update graphs and statistics on the main Rakudo site (just like rakudo.de does) -- until now we simply haven't had a main Rakudo site that could handle that (other than rakudo.de). > We can also use feather.perl6.nl to host sites we want. This may indeed be what we do--it does have the advantage of having multiple admins readily available.

Good point, thanks. Pm
