alvis What I did: 19:15
* Completed stuff for GCI Tasks (e.g., How to convert 'README's into 'README.pod's. 19:16
* Completed 'README' -> 'README.pod'
* Completed 'parrot.pod'
What I'm working on:
* Reviewing procedure to automate conversion of docs for release cycles
* Reviewing 'tools/dev/make_html_docs.pl' for updates
* Develop procedure to automate turning installable binaries' POD into manpages.
What I will do: 19:17
* Complete 'working on' items above
* Add a section to 'index.html' about languages, i.e., winxed and nqp-rx
EOR

whiteknight WHAT I DID 19:23
* GCI Tasks. Lots of new code from GCI. Some of it already merged, some of it waiting in branches for review
* Hunting around for new GCI tasks. The deadline was yesterday. All tasks we create now will be published on Dec 16th. Ideas very much welcome, we want to have an overwhelming supply of tasks for students in December for winter break.
* Worked on Rosella. New Random library and CommandLine library are now stable. new Date library for date/time stuff. Working on Dumper library to get that ready for prime-time.
* Updating Rosella to use the new Winxed "inline" feature.
* Following along intently with NQP and Rakudo changes, especially new NCI and 6model improvements. Am itching to start porting some of those ideas down into Parrot if possible.
WHAT I WILL DO:
* Continue with GCI stuff.
* Keep working on Rosella. Want to do some real work on Dumper and Reflect libraries.
* (hopefully) making settlement on a house tomorrow. That and moving in will eat up some time this week. May be without internet access for some days.

Util Hello 19:34
NotFound Hola 19:35
whiteknight hello
the week has been very good. GCI is kicking butt
Util Seeing traffic on NCI (dynlib/libffi) makes me wonder if NCI Documentation could be a GCI task. 19:36
whiteknight the documentation-related tasks have not been too popular so far
early adopters might just be coders
Util understandable.
cotto Could be. Documentation doesn't seem important until you don't have any. 19:37
NotFound I'll suggest that experiments with dynlib can be made using dynpmcs, better than compromising the main system. 19:43
cotto NotFound: that's generally a good starting point. +1 19:44
I look forward to seeing how that goes. 19:46
Util +1, until the experiments are done.
whiteknight if NQP can load it dynamically through dynops, we cna do the the same thing 19:49
in fact, I say we get our guns, rush in there, and steal their dynops 19:50
and when the dynops workout, we move them into regular ops
cotto Does anyone want to lead that charge? 19:55
alvis I'm sorry, but I'm running outta time here. May I ask a question? 20:02
cotto alvis: sure
alvis Thanks. Are there any objections to creating a Parrot VM Specification? A document similar to the JVM Specification, but, of course, for Parrot.
cotto in the future, say "q1q" to queue a question and we'll know that you've got something to ask. 20:03
That's appropriate for a stable VM. It's likely to become outdated fairly quickly.
alvis Ok, didn't know that. 20:04
hmmm ..., ok. I'll have to think about that then. 20:06
cotto I do like the idea of a more spec-like organization of our current documentation.
alvis I *think* I can come up with something. I'll write up a plan and let folks offer their opinions. 20:07
cotto alvis++ 20:08
Util +1
alvis Ok. I'm sorry, but I gtg. 20:10
cotto Any other questions?
whiteknight I think we need 6model before we can import NQP's new nci ops directly
so we should focus on 6model first. the most gains are to be had there 20:11
cotto How stable has that been? Last I checked, it was still being changed in nqp. 20:19
It'll be something to look into this week. 20:20
Is there anything else before we call it a wrap? 20:21
whiteknight that's the problem, I think it still is changing
no, let's wrap it
cotto It's a wrap. 20:23
