That would be good.
I've not see use.perl status reports (I don't get to use.perl as
often as I'd like) and searching for ponie on use.perl returns
little beyond tangental mentions in "This Week on perl5-porters".
And ponie isn't listed as a topic on http://use.perl.org/topics.shtml
While Arthur is undoubtably very able it seems odd that he's working
is such apparent isolation.
Are there no design decisions that would benefit from wider discusion?
If it's only "grunt work" at the moment couldn't others help out?
Tim.
