I'm Andy Lester, and I like to test stuff. I also write for the Perl Journal, and do tech edits on books. Sometimes I write code, too.

What should I work on for the hackathon?
I'm taking part in the post-YAPC::NA hackathon remotely on Thursday and Friday. Took two days off of work and I'm going to do nothing but work on Perl-related projects.
Here's what's big in my iGTD to-do list:
- Move the Parrot wiki at rakudo.org off of Socialtext onto MediaWiki
- Get context searching working in ack
- Fix the bug where ack -1 fails to find "-1"
- Write docs for the headerizer in Parrot
- Write a doc generator for Parrot
- Write ack -g so you don't have to do ack -f | grep whatever
- Move WWW::Mechanize's repository over to Google Code
- Update Parrot coding standards
- Fix Parrot's C macros that (dangerously) assume certain variables in scope
- Work on Solaris lint target for Parrot
- Work on splint target for Parrot
Which of those do you want me to work on? Why?

Reg-Ex and shouting back "Dragons? What dragons?" to people frantically
waving their hands (safely beyond the borders, funny that)... now I can
attest to nasty monsters being fully alive, and full of flame...

The Perl vs. PHP has nothing to do with it.

Quite frankly the design of the user-interface and features of Mediawiki are orders of magnitude better than any other wiki I've ever seen. I'd never install anything else. Even though I'm not a user of this wiki, I feel like if it's Mediawiki the developers will be more productive and the rest of us will benefit from that.
It does bug me a lot that it's not in Perl. If someone reimplemented Mediawiki in Perl I would use that; it'd be a lot more useful to me. but even without that Mediawiki wins hands

TAP::Parser? (Score:2)
I don't suppose you'd be inclined to work on that, would you? It only needs a bit more work to get it ready for a "pre-core" release and I know you've asked me about this in the past.
