Well, I'm here, FWIW.
Here's my 2 copper Lincolns regarding scope and topics:
I see a place for each of the following kinds of documentation:
- "How do I get started helping on Parrot"?
- "What do the guts of Parrot look like and why?"
- "I am a programmer with no Perl experience. Tell me why I should switch to
Perl6."
- "I am a Perl5 programmer. Tell me why I should switch to Perl6."
- Online docs, a la the existing perlvar, perlfunc, etc
- Tutorials, a la the existing perltoot
wrt the first two...some documents of this sort already exist, but we could see what
we can do to help/consolidate/clean them.
wrt the last two...we may or may not want to use the existing formats. There was a
discussion just recently of "cookbook" versus "online book" style. I personally favor
"book", because cookbooks are less when you have a problem that isn't explicitly
addressed, but that's just MO.
