Hi all. I've been hanging around on #perl6, and have heard a fairly
regular complaint in the last few days. 3 or 4 people have turned up wanting
to work on Rakudo, and not always been able to get the information that they
wanted.
I promised to write a message to the list complaining about this, but
before I did, the main developers recognised the problem and discussed on IRC
the steps they're planning to take to fix it. As such, this is both a
complaint message and an answer to it :).
The basic plan is to turn rakudo.org into a centralised rakudo info
point. The plan is that all the information needed to be a developer will
appear on it. If you want to help in the process, ask for some rakudo.org
editing power on #perl6, and go to work on the docs. This new site is new
enough that it's still very incomplete, but hopefully with a bit of teamwork,
in a month or so we should have it to the point where it can help beginning
developers.
:)
