I'm really interested of helping with the creation of any PMC/classes that we need. Tell me if there is anything I can do for you!!
Well, we should get the object/method/attribute spec done within a week, and lexical scratchpads are pretty close to done now. Between those two, I think we may be ready to start getting the compiler for Ruby going. (Right now what we have parses ruby, but we still need to add the code generating parts) Head over to perl6-internals by monday and we should be ready to start going. :) -- Dan --------------------------------------"it's like this"------------------- Dan Sugalski even samurai address@hidden have teddy bears and even teddy bears get drunk
