Larry’s approaching perl6 through the Programming Perl book (the Camel). He’s going chapter by chapter through the Camel, writing documents about the perl6 equivalent concepts. These missives are known as “Apocalypses”, for reasons best known to Larry. 🙂
He’s churning through the RFCs, looking through them to deeper issues. He hopes to emit Apocalypses more-or-less weekly, although some chapters
have fewer RFCs and issues than others.
What a birthday gift, thanks Larry.

I finally got a decent Jabber client up and running, so that I can consolidate all of my IM contacts into one client…and AOL blocks the Jabber servers! Here’s a nice commentary on the situation.

I’ve come to see them primarily as a bully that uses its advantage at every step, whether they need to or not, to achieve their goals, and they play on peoples’ ignorance and willingness to believe that somehow they’re special, that Microsoft respects them even as they dis the others. Even in an area that’s probably of minor significance to them, they don’t ever show restraint, repeated calls for them to back off and let people work openly are ignored.

My experience now matches the stories I’ve heard from others, they must have a playbook for dealing with outsiders, and they stick to it. I don’t believe they can participate in an open development process without spoiling it.
