a foundation for Parrot

Off-and-on over the past year there have been sporadic conversations 
about starting a foundation for Parrot separate from the Perl 
Foundation. With 1.0 approaching, it's making more and more sense. 
Parrot will be better able to approach the Python, Ruby, PHP, Lua, etc 
communities if we're hosted by an organization that's not "Perl". It 
makes sense for the Perl Foundation too, as they work to give equal 
attention to all Perl 6 implementations. The Perl Foundation fully 
supports the idea, and is willing to put whatever resources they can 
behind helping us get the new foundation started.

I just wanted to let everyone know that some gears are starting to turn 
in this direction. We'll work on this the same as we do the rest of 
Parrot, drafting documents in the wiki so everybody has a chance to 
contribute, etc.
