If you can find someone who has the experience, the contacts, is prepared to make the effort, and has no conflicting interests, then I'm sure we would give him or her ample consideration. But for the moment, Dick is the best guy for the job. The long-sought after evidence that ActiveState are the Big Bad Wolf incarnate has not yet been forthcoming, and I suspect never will. I think it's time to let them get on with it.

It was actually the decision of the *open* meeting. Very little was decided in the "closed-door" meeting, other than "We're going to re-write Perl". That decision was only made mid-way through the morning after an interesting interjection from Jon Orwant turned thoughts towards this possibility. Until that point, I don't believe there were any plans to re-write Perl and it certainly wasn't on the agenda. It just happened. Larry made the decision there and then and re-wrote the end of his keynote to announce it. The subsequent meeting in the afternoon was open to all perl5-porters and all the remaining decisions were made then, with fair discussion and general agreement. AThread Previous | Thread Next
