Work on the Perl 6 book at Wikibooks is going smoothly. I haven't had as much time to work on it this week as I would like (and Hiveminder won't shut up about it!), but things are progressing well. Some status:
1) I've drafted, or at least outlined, almost all of the chapters about "basic" features so far. This covers variables and data types, branching, looping, subroutines, classes and objects.
2) I still find myself slipping into "Perl 5 mode" sometimes when I write, so there's some serious proofreading required for some of the code examples.
3) MediaWiki is using the GeSHi syntax highligher, which has support for "perl", but not "perl6". If we have a perl hacker somewhere who is familiar with GeSHi and is willing to add highlighting for this language, that would be awesome (and make the book look nicer).
There is some more "basic" information I need to cover before I move onto some of the more advanced topics, and I definitely need to do more reading in the Synopses before I try to tackle things more comprehensively. Feedback is always appreciated!
Perl 6 Programming at Wikibooks
I wanted to thank you for do the Perl6 wikibook. It is good to look at P6 and see what it is all about.
