can I add a few unsolicited ruminations from a lurker;

   * just release perl 6 now and move on

   * do not hire 40 year olds with responsibilities, convince the
young to spend their time for free ... isn't that what one is supposed
to do after the age of 40 ?

   * use all funds to promote its usage, not fund its development

   * promote its usage past perl's borders, e.g. perl should be an
ingredient not a closed garden at some Perl conference ...

   * look at successful OS orgs like mozilla and apache (different to
each other yes) and copy their techniques

a systematic plan past these points will then be possible.

cheers, Jim Fuller
