cog,
I know the thread. I also know that many of the people wanted to know when and also wanted to know exactly what the money was going to be used for.

People listened and acted accordingly.

The result of that was better documenting deliverables and timelines. To be honest, there is energy and synergy in the community right now that wasn't there just two months ago. I bet that if it reaches critical mass - you will see something useable (not finished) before the end of the calendar year. Of course, I will win this bet since Pugs is useable today even if it isn't finished.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
