Probably not if it had scales, webbed feet, a hookbill, antennae, a furry coontail, and udders. Otherwise, if it looks like a camel at all, it's considered a trademark violation. I remember someone (whether at O'Reilly or not I don't remember) saying that, even if it looks like a horse but has a hump, it's not allowed. Or was that an alpaca with a llama... The RFC pleads for a community spirit from ORA. Barring that, it seeks a new symbol for the community entirely. A three-humped camel may give a good visual for Perl 6 as it exists today (fantasy and a bit convoluted), but it may be a bit difficult to apply to the upcoming completed language. ;-) BTW, what happened to meta? After a server outage of some length I believe I was removed, but it appears no longer to exist when I try to subscribe. David T.
