As brian mentioned, the NLNet grant is what's driving the Parrot work. AFAIK, there haven't been any Parrot-related grants for a long time besides that one and the MoFo/TPF grant to Patrick. To see other grants given go here - http://www.perlfoundation.org/grants Most of them are Perl 5 related. There are also the micogrants (http://www.perlfoundation.org/microgrants) which are all Perl 6 focused, but only one is Parrot-specific. > So where is the problem?

TPF definitely does want to sponsor more on Perl 5. I think this is mostly TPF's communications problem. People don't know about the grants, or don't know what is likely to be accepted, don't know when to apply, etc. -dave /*=================================================== VegGuide.Org www.BookIRead.com Your guide to all that's veg.
