This is the first update for running grants on 2009. At the moment TPF has 12 running grants:
* "Port pyYAML to Perl":http://www.perlfoundation.org/ingy_dot_net_port_pyyaml_to_perl
I just uploaded YAML-Perl-01_01. It has the entire Loader stack represented. You can play with it by using: ysh -MYAML::Perl
It will load many simple YAML documents all the way through, but is not yet complete, so many others will fail. There are 10 modules involved in the Loader stack. They are all partially ported/working at this point. You can use the load stack at different levels. ie you can: Load, Construct, Compose, Parse and Scan a YAML stream. All the other YAML implementations can only Load.
Next steps will be (roughly): Code the entire dumper stack [Done - see YAML-Perl-0.01_02 on CPAN - ed.], Finish porting the missing python functions, Harness the python test suite and get it passing, Work on the documentation, Finish work on YAML2, Replace YAML with YAML2
* "Test::Builder 2":http://www.perlfoundation.org/test_builder_2
No updates from grantee.
* "SMOP":http://www.perlfoundation.org/smop_simple_meta_object_programming
No updates from grantee.
* "Archive::Zip bugs":http://www.perlfoundation.org/fixing_bugs_in_the_archive_zip_perl_module
Alan Haggai continues work on Archive-Zip, although this week was not productive. He wanted to get unicode filename support in, and got bogged down learning more about how Perl does unicode. A dev release has hit CPAN containing his bug fixes so far: "http://search.cpan.org/src/ADAMK/Archive-Zip-1.27_01/Changes":http://search.cpan.org/src/ADAMK/Archive-Zip-1.27_01/Changes
* "Extending BSDPAN":http://www.perlfoundation.org/colin_smith_extending_bsdpan
No updates from grantee.
* "Perl Cross-Compilation for WinCE and Linux":http://www.perlfoundation.org/vadim_konovalov_perl_cross_compilation_for_linux_and_wince
No updates from grantee.
* "Tcl/Tk Access in Rakudo":http://www.perlfoundation.org/vadim_konovalov_tcl_tk_access_for_rakudo
No updates from grantee.
* "The Perl Survey":http://www.perlfoundation.org/kieren_diment_the_perl_survey
Kieren plans to start working on the survey grant at the end of the week.
* "The Mojo Documentation Project":http://www.perlfoundation.org/sebastian_riedel_the_mojo_documentation_project
No updates, yet.
* "Embeding Perl into C++ Applications":http://www.perlfoundation.org/leon_timmermans_embedding_perl_into_c_applications
Leon was working on his exams during-December, but has made some progress with unit testing.
* "Moose Docs":http://www.perlfoundation.org/dave_rolsky_moose_docs
Dave already started to improve the Moose Documentation. He plans to ship a first version of Moose::Manual some time in January.
* "Integrating Padre with Parrot and Rakudo":http://www.perlfoundation.org/gabor_szabo_integrating_padre_with_parrot_and_rakudo
Gabor already started and he blogs about the progress. His blog can be found at http://szabgab.com/blog.html. Padre now has a (slow) syntax highlighting for Perl 6.
