Grants updates:
* "Port PyYAML to Perl":http://www.perlfoundation.org/ingy_dot_net_port_pyyaml_to_perl -- Ingy döt Net
Ingy update: YAML::Perl is really coming together. Over 95% of the code is ported. I only port code once I have a failing test written to exercise that code. Just need to figure out how to tickle the other 5%.
I plan on putting a big push in this weekend to get a release candidate version of YAML::Perl onto CPAN.
The code rally is working quite well, and can parse tons of stuff the old YAML.pm could not. But still needs a bit more work before I can call it done.
Then I plan to start writing lots of user doc, so that people know how to use the great new features.
* "Fixing Bugs in the Archive::Zip Perl Module":http://www.perlfoundation.org/fixing_bugs_in_the_archive_zip_perl_module -- Alan Haggai Alavi
No updates.
* "Extending BSDPAN":http://www.perlfoundation.org/colin_smith_extending_bsdpan -- Colin Smith

* "Embedding perl into C++ applications":http://www.perlfoundation.org/leon_timmermans_embedding_perl_into_c_applications -- Leon Timmermans
Leon update: Done some work on importing pp_match from perl into my code and on the type conversion code. Spent most of my time on my presentation for this Friday though. I'll be putting it online soon.
* "Moose docs":http://www.perlfoundation.org/dave_rolsky_moose_docs -- Dave Rolsky
Dave update: I'm working writing the new recipes I discussed in the
grant application. So far I've released Roles recipe 3 (applying a role
to an object), Basics recipe 11 (BUILDARGS and BUILD). I've also checked
in Meta recipe 7 (creating a custom meta-instance). I still need to
write Meta recipe 6 and Basics recipe 8. However, for the latter, I need
a new topic, since the feature it was supposed to cover is now covered
in an existing recipe.
* "Integrating Padre with Parrot and Rakudo":http://www.perlfoundation.org/gabor_szabo_integrating_padre_with_parrot_and_rakudo -- Gabor Szabo
No updates.
* "Improving learn.perl.org":http://www.perlfoundation.org/eric_and_tina_improving_learn_perl_org -- Eric and Tina
Starting the grant.
* "A lightweight web framework for Perl 6":http://www.perlfoundation.org/ilya_carl_and_stephen_a_lightweight_web_framework_for_perl_6 -- Ilya, Carl and Stephen
Starting the grant.
