Grants updates:
h3. "Port PyYAML to Perl":http://www.perlfoundation.org/ingy_dot_net_port_pyyaml_to_perl -- Ingy döt Net
Ingy update:
I just finished giving my YAML talk today at the NPW in Oslo. It was well received. Later the slides will be up at http://ingydotnet.github.com/yaml-npw2009-talk/
This weekend is a hackathon. One of my big plans is to get PyYaml ported to Perl6 in Rakudo enough to parse Larry's syntax trees.
YAML::Perl is all ported but just needs to:
* Finalize work on tag/type resolution.
* Polish the front end APIs.
* Finish passing the test suite.
* Get all the doc written.
Then I think I'll be done with the grant.

h3. "Improving learn.perl.org":http://www.perlfoundation.org/eric_and_tina_improving_learn_perl_org -- Eric and Tina
Eric update: _I finally got some sysadmin time: http://learnperl.scratchcomputing.com/_
_There are no changes here yet vs learn.perl.org, but I've got all of my plumbing done and I'm figuring out what my constraints are with combust and etc._
_I need to figure out what to do with the books - Robert wants me to keep them up but I'm not sure about having them use so much space on the front page -- I'll start a discussion with Robert and Ask about that. There's also http://books.perl.org, which could use some tough love._
h3. "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
Ilya, Carl & Steven have been hard at work. In four short weeks they've gone form nothing to having their basic "hello world" application "Nibbler" up and running in Perl6 - great work from all involved.
