Community

There are several mailing lists, IRC channels, and wikis available with help for Perl 6 and Rakudo on Parrot. Figuring out the right one to use is often the biggest battle. Here are some rough guidelines:

If you have a question about Perl 6 syntax or the right way to approach a problem using Perl 6, you probably want the perl6-users@perl.org mailing list. This list is primarily for the people who want to use Perl 6 to write programs, as opposed to those who are implementing or developing the Perl 6 language itself.

Questions about the Rakudo compiler for Parrot and the Parrot compiler tools can go to perl6-compiler@perl.org. Discussion about Parrot itself generally takes place on
parrot-dev@lists.parrot.org.

The Rakudo and Parrot development teams tend to hang out on IRC a fair bit, either on irc://irc.freenode.net/perl6 or irc://irc.perl.org/parrot.

There are also blogs available from http://rakudo.org/ and http://planetsix.perl.org/ .

Spam on Rakudo

I do not know if someone moderates the site, but for some time rakudo site is used by plenty of people to post spams.

on node/46#comments
on node/43#comments
on node/38#comments

Is there someone to filter and remove all these uncomfortable messages?

And, could it be possible to get a webmaster mail to point out these problems?

Done.

Using my shiny new admin privs to the site, I've removed the comment spam. If you see any others, let me know and I'll take care of them.

A new spam

A new pspam in arabic language has been posted on several comments.

Maybe it will be necessary to filter registration and remove those who do not folow rules.

Moreover, the fact that no one in there can understand what is said may be dangerous.

What is the message and what are the goals of there persons?

I'm now able to handle deleting spam... I'm sure pmichaud has more important things to do, so let me know if any more shows up. pmichaud, you may have your spam-killer duty back if you want it... :)
