[ptc] moritz: have proof read the first two blog posts 08:12
moritz [ptc]: thanks! 08:26
I've said it in #perl6, but I'll repeat it here: I fear I have to write instructions on how to get rakudo running 08:27
and my plan is to use a docker based setup for that, to keep it minimal
it's really just one 'docker pull', and then a lenghty-ish docker command line, which you can put into an alias, for example 08:28
docker run -v $PWD:/perl6 -w /perl6 -it mj41/perl6-star perl6 08:29

[ptc] does the Docker solution work on Windows as well? 08:31
just wondering about the platform independence of the installation, as readers will likely come from all walks of life 08:32
moritz that's the one big question 08:41
docs.docker.com/engine/installation/windows/
[ptc] hrm, requires Windows 10 pro... 08:47
would it be a bad idea to rely on a Rakudo Star release?
that way there are packages for Windows, MacOS and Unixen
moritz [ptc]: I guess for windows I'll just recommend the .msi installation 10:52
[ptc] just a question: is it necessary to use a bleading edge Rakudo version for the examples you want to discuss? If not, then an older Rakudo Star release might be good enough to get people up and running 10:55
just an idea...
moritz [ptc]: I'll have one version with which everything is tested, and recommend that version 10:58
so it'll likely be bleading edge when I start, and comfortably old when I finish :-) 10:59
[ptc] :-) 11:01
