^ Perl 6 Design Team
This section was partly derived from "Who's Who in Perl 6, Parrot, and Pugs" (<http://dev.perl.org/perl6/people.html>).
* Nicholas Clark:
* Will Coleda: The parrot project manager. Has worked on a variety of languages targeting parrot.
* "Damian Conway"<http://damian.conway.org/About_us//Bio_formal.html>: He writes the "Exegeses"<http://dev.perl.org/perl6/exegesis/>, which explain by example Larry's design documents (the "Apocalypses"<http://dev.perl.org/perl6/apocalypse/>).
* chromatic: The project secretary. He is at least partially responsible for delaying Apocalypse 12 with that Roles idea. Also writes code. Also editor at "Perl.com"<http://Perl.com>. "cromatic's journal"<http://use.perl.org/~chromatic/journal/>.
* Jerry Gay: Hacks on "Parrot"<http://parrotcode.org>, [Rakudo] Perl 6 and the Parrot Compiler Toolkit (PCT). Read "Jerry's journal"<http://use.perl.org/~particle/journal/>
* "Patrick Michaud"<http://www.pmichaud.com/>: The author of PGE, the parrot/Perl6 Grammar engine. He's also the Perl 6 compiler and Parrot pumpking. "Patrick's journal"<http://use.perl.org/~pmichaud/journal/>.
* "Allison Randal"<http://www.onyxneon.com/allison.html>: The Parrot architect and also hacks on the Perl 6 compiler tools. She started the "Synopses"<http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/synopsis.html> with Damian.
* "Hugo van der Sanden"<http://crypt.org/hv/>: Knows more about Perl 5 internals than any one person should, which helps to make better decisions for Perl 6.
* "Audrey Tang"<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Tang>: The primary force behind Pugs, the original Perl 6 compiler implementation in Haskell that targets at least four different backends, including JavaScript. Ended the long "Dark Ages" of compiler-side Perl 6 development. Spread "-Ofun" and commit bits to the masses. Also overdue for a MacArthur prize.
* "Jesse Vincent"<http://use.perl.org/~jesse>: The Perl 6 project manager.
* Larry Wall: Our hero, the inventor of Perl. He has staked out the perl5-to-perl6 translator as his own project. Also overdue for a MacArthur prize.
* Richard: The President of "The Perl Foundation"<http://perlfoundation.org/>
* Jesse: The Perl 6 Project Manager. An expert at the "stick and carrot" approach to open source development.

FYI, the table of contents entry will sometimes not format correctly after a save or a preview (e.g. the font will be too big, and there will be extra blank lines in the middle), so don't worry about it. Sometimes doing 2 previews in a row will restore correct behavior, or a couple of edit-saves.
