Perl 6 hackathon targets

These are topics and/or tasks that are likely candidates to be addressed or worked on at the Oslo Perl 6 hackaton 2009. They're here as a list to remind us of (1) important issues we may want to address when we have a gathering of the principals, and (2) ideas for things that we can recruit others to work on.

Rakudo-specific targets

Update the development roadmap
Review RT tickets, verify that open bugs/tickets have corresponding spectests
Ideas/planning for initial module implementations, where hosted, if/how distributed with implementations
Update documentation on rakudo.org
Create/update FAQ on rakudo.org
Update "committer's guide", "release manager's guide", etc. documents
Plan for handling .leave
Spectest coverage review
Fix 'make install' target
Planning for laziness and lazy lists
Identify critical stumbling blocks for newcomers to Rakudo / Perl 6
Clean up handling of True, False, .true, .not, etc.
Clean up handling of .Str for some builtin types (Int, Num)
qx() workarounds?
RT #64810?
Fix up capture handling
Container autovivification

Perl 6 language targets

(Language design issues that may involve discussions with Larry or proposals to p6l)

Handling of take() values, especially in loops
Details of infix:<cmp>
Do we want want() ?
See also perl6 tasks
String Range semantics
Types nested inside roles
access private members of sibling instances

Rakudo things accomplished / decided

Fixed some bugs with .hash and .list on match objects (pmichaud)
Added IO::Socket (masak, mberends)
Lots more parameterized type thingies (jonathan++)
Syntax highlighting in Padre

Perl 6 things accomplished / decided

is augment lexically scoped? (answer: no, it's a form of monkey patching)
review EXPORTALL semantics
Clarify enum/boolean stringification semantics
Type constraints in arrays 3, 4, 5 <-> Positional[Int] ?

(answer -- generally an anonymous array/list doesn't promote to a given constraint)
however, there is a "narrowness criteria" for parameterized roles, which jonathan++ has specced (S14) and implemented (Rakudo)

Eliminated prefix:<=>, now use .get, .lines.
Also eliminated fish term ( =<> ), it's now lines() .
Binding doesn't have any "action at a distance" semantics -- tends to work locally
"augment" should probably affect existing instances of a type
