  I bet I could even help him check out Parrot on his laptop such that he could type cd languages/perl6/ and make test and see for himself how things are.

  It's not about me, it's about everyone else. I'm not the one asking where it's at, because I know the "it'll be done when it's done answer." It's for everyone else. It's for the guys at the Linux user group meeting I went to last night who when they heard I used Perl immediately asked "When is Perl 6 coming out?"

    Patrick has made a number of excellent progress reports recently - http://use.perl.org/~pmichaud/journal [perl.org]
    
    chromatic has been posting meeting minutes from the p6 developers for ages - http://use.perl.org/~chromatic/journal [perl.org]
    
    There's a Pugs Wiki [pugscode.org] with links to lots of useful stuff like the documentation [perlcabal.org],

      It would be nice if perl.org's information on Perl 6 was not so outdated. Maybe its perl6 pages could just link to the wiki. It would be nice if the p6l summaries started again, but I sure as hell don't have the time, and I don't know who does.
