moritz iBakeCake: I've added your SSH key 08:33
iBakeCake: and fwiw I also don't think we should introduce the topics in the order discussed in the outline 08:39
iBakeCake: rather we should start with a basic example, and explain the things used in the example
and then go to a slightly more advanced example, and explain all the stuff needed for that, and so on 08:40
IME, coming up with good examples is the real challenge 08:46
ideally they do somthing useful, are rather compact, and don't introduce too many new concepts 08:47
... and all without interacting too much with the outside world, because that tends to be a bit non-deterministic, which makes it hard for the reader to follow 08:48
so, any ideas for examples are very welcome 08:53

Zoffix Sorry for doing this after offering to be a co-editor (and making you add keys), but I'm pulling out. I think it's best to do it now, than half-way in the middle of the project. As I've said before, I was thinking of a book even earlier than your announcement. Yesterday, I wrote down a detailed plan for what I envison that book to be and I feel strongly about the content structure and the creative direction. I've decided that my staying on and 11:43
bikeshedding this and trying to convince people why I want it my way would be wasted effort and I'm best to do my book on my own. Sorry for wasting your time; please revoke my keys. Best of luck in your endeavour.

moritz DrForr: are you looking for a co-author for Learning Perl 6? :-) 12:54
I don't fancy writing a book alone right now
DrForr I don't blame you. Privmsg? (already pinged you) 14:13
