One or two platforms is plenty for a first model,

That is exactly the point. Reduce, reduce, reduce. Refactor & test; refactor & test. (Minimal platforms for tests means least hysteresis for testing.)

Then, if the project achieves anything, and if there are sufficient people willing to contribute to a given platform, then add it back.

Remember, nothing changes in the existing P5 line -- unless p5p decide to change it.

Less platforms at the start means less people required; that means it is easier to achieve agreement at each step; less chance of getting held up by one platform.

One of my steps would also be 64-bit only.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

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.
