Hi all,
I've been lurking for a bit until I'm up to speed enough to help out. I'm glad to see
a glossary is forming of some of the terms newbies need, but there are some things I
think are missing.
First is that COW was discussed a few days (weeks?) ago, but doesn't appear to have
made it to the glossary.
Next is that garbage collection should probably be listed under it's acronym GC.
Probably with a description of what it is and how it works under Parrot.
Lastly, in the several months I've been lurking I've never seen a description of what
the heck PMC stands for. I'm guessing maybe something like Parrot meta-class?
Anyway, the correct name and definition would be appreciated here as well.
If someone helps provide reliable definitions for these I'll format and provide a
patch for the glossary pod.
Thanks,
Mike

PS Other website updates:
Aren't we on version 0.0.6 now? It says 0.0.4 on the front page. Also is the rsync
command on the front page correct? Shouldn't we be using anonymous CVS instead?

Ah, shades of "top ten things you'd overhear a Klingon programmer saying". "Klingons
do not make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of
designers and quality assurance people in its wake."
