time is as limited as everyone's.... If I could get small bites of work
to do, maybe I could contribute something useful.
Anyone requesting one black-box module or function at a time? Or am I
pipe dreaming?
I used to publish a Pugs and a Parrot task of the week in the Perl.com
newsletter, but there didn't seem to be much uptake and so it slowly
dissolved.
It might be nice to have a small list of bite-sized tasks for the interested
linked off of dev.perl.org/perl6 and the various project pages. I know
there's a Perl 6 wiki around here somewhere, so in theory all we need is
someone to prune the page regularly and poke various projects asking for a
couple of small tasks for the uninitiated.

I realize now I sent a post directly to chromatic regarding this issue,
but I've developed an idea using an existing technology that could
really help for organizing something like this. www.hiveminder.com is a
task/to-do list organizer application written using Jifty. It's created
and mainted by the Best Practical team. I would be willing to maintain
a group on hiveminder and people interested in getting involved can
create accounts and have tasks assigned to them. These tasks could
easily be tracked and monitored in an organized fashion with rss feeds
available for viewing by say; perl.org? Just an idea...
