19:00	masak	o/
19:00	moritz_	\o
19:02	masak	the Twittersphere is shocked and deeply sad over _why's disappearance. I'm following the reaction live. it's mesmerizing.
19:02		(and yes, I'm kinda sad too. I hope the guy's alright.)
19:03		but now, #perl6-soc meeting.
19:03		do we have a literal here?
19:05	moritz_	or an identifier maybe? ;-)
19:07	masak	pending literal's appearance, I'm going to take a look at grok.
19:07	* moritz_	takes a look at the release announcement
19:10	masak	ah. seems what literal++ did was to take my + examples and use them as test data.
19:10		I think that's a really good idea.
19:12		at bottom, u4x doesn't need to be more complicated than a lot of =head3 sections.
19:22	literal	oh, hi
19:22	masak	o/
19:23	literal	masak: as I mentioned in a blog post, the "perl table index" on the perlfoundation wiki could be used as u4x data
19:23	masak	literal: I've been thinking along the same lines, actually.
19:24	literal	cool
19:24	masak	literal: not sure the structure will be exactly the same, but those guys sure did a good job hunting and gathering.
19:24	literal	heh, yeah
19:26	masak	also, and perhaps not least, this could be the key to making documentation-writing a bit more motivating.
19:27		let's say someone created a generated page on feather which showed the completion status of u4x, preferably using colors.
19:28		'white' - unwritten, 'grey' - started, 'blue' - completed, 'green' - reviewed, 'gold' - awesome!
19:28	literal	and it would get data from the Synopses Pods on which things things need to be documented?
19:29	masak	well, as you said, perhaps we should seed the index with the 'perl table index' on the pf wiki.
19:30		and perhaps, if it makes sense, S29 and S32.
19:31		should I try to extract some index from the pf wiki into u4x in the Pugs repo?
19:32	literal	that could be useful
19:33	masak	from what I see in grok, it contains a good start for actually hosting something like that.
19:39		literal: how have the last-minute things from last week proceeded?
19:40		1) Adapt PerlJam's regex tutorial into a 'perlretut', 2) get some u4x terms into grok, 3) release a draft of a 'perlootut' document, 4) work more with the Padre team on integrating grok.
19:41	literal	they went alright, though I think the only way I helped Padre (well, Padre-Plugin-Perl6, really) was by eliminating grok test failures
19:42	masak	that's something, at least.
19:42	literal	but azawawi usually pokes me when something goes wrong :)
19:42	masak	I'm glad the things went alright.
19:49		literal: thanks for implementing grok for your GSoC project! it's been fun to watch. I'll do my best to give it the attention it deserves, mainly by filling u4x with worthwhile documentation.
19:50	moritz_	literal++
19:50		and masak++ for mentoring
19:50	masak	zarah: karma literal
19:50	zarah	literal has a karma of 5
19:50	masak	literal++
19:50	literal	my pleasure
19:50	moritz_	literal++
19:50	literal	I'm not done yet, though :)
19:50	moritz_	# a gsoc project deserves more karma ;-)
19:50	masak	literal: and that's even better. :)
19:50		literal: I'm not done either. :)
20:00		today's meeting, however, might very well be over.
20:00		I'm due for an evening walk. and we seem to have run out of steam anyway.
20:05	literal	alright
20:05	masak	o/
20:05	moritz_	o\|
20:14		masak left #perl6-soc
