How can I help?
We can use smoke testers, developers, people to write documentation, people to read the documentation and tell us where there are problems, people to port libraries, people to write articles, people to write tests, people to keep the web sites up to date, and people to help recruit other people.

Thank you. I know this is hard work, and I know it's been a long time coming, and I can't wait to use it and enjoy how much it improves my programming life. I know lots of people have put a lot of effort into giving their work away for free for various reasons, and I know you've taken a lot of abuse and it seems like you'll never finish and no one appreciates what you do, and you'll go long-forgotten after it comes out, but seriously, thank you for everything.

It's interesting because it's part of PCT, the Parrot Compiler Toolkit.
The best way to write a compiler in Parrot right now is to write a grammar in Perl 6 rules, then write transformation rules from the parse tree to PAST (the

That's a great idea. The Perl 6 Wiki [perlfoundation.org] is a good place to start.
If get this going, I'll figure out how to update dev.perl.org/perl6 to point to it.
