Hi Kartik, great that you got the time to spawn this list of goals, and I'm glad you got the chance to brainstorm so much stuff during the YAPC! Makes me even sadder I wasn't able to make it this year :(

Having public announcements will definitely increase people's awareness to the project! As for the POD format, my email client doesn't know how to format it (or maybe I'm just too lazy to set it up). We can all parse POD in our heads but a simple list should be enough - even Markdown if you feel like it :) > > =head1 Continuing Projects > =blame kthakore, chromatic > =for kthakore, chromatic, garu > > =head2 SDL_Manual Book Indexing and Chapter Intentions and Exercises > > I am hoping to read over Modern Perl source today, and do some of the > indexing I talked about.

Let's talk this over in irc so I can get a better notion of what you need and what the deadlines are. Now, for my own goals, I'm gonna keep working on Box2D::Simple and the Avenger layer, which hopefully will make it even easier for newcomers to create nice games in Perl. Porting the games we made during the Game Contest onto CPAN was also requested, and next on the list for me. Have a nice trip! breno
