The Raku Advent homepage has a link (Full list of 2020 Raku Advent Blog Posts) that points to the 2020 category. Should that link be updated to say & point to 2021 posts?

Hi JJ - I got this email this morning - alas I do not have permission to edit the WordPress article...

Hey p6steve,

I enjoyed reading your Advent post today. 😎

There's a minor issue regarding the emoji. Some HTML has crept into the code samples. Perhaps the emoji was copy/pasted and Wordpress messed up somewhere?

You can grep for "img draggable" and find all instances of this. I would have edited it myself, but I don't have the permissions.

advent file says:

The site is programmed for Madrid's time

I think it's wrong.

<uzl> AlexDaniel: To what timezone is the P6 Advent WP set?
<AlexDaniel> uzl: I really don't know, but I think it works based on your timezone
<AlexDaniel> so I'm in UTC+2 and I had to schedule it for 02:00 AM

Which is seriously LTA.

If necessary, I am okay with moving two posts of mine, day 14 and 15, down the schedule to fill the gap, though it won't be a lot of extension until a next deadline, but still. The only thing that has to be changed is title for each post: day should be updated appropriately.

In second one links are missing, which I'll fill after first one will be published(whenever it happen).

I can't really figure out which slots/days are still open for the current year (2020). May be it could be mentioned in the README how/where to find that info?

Hi, @JJ.
Can instructions on RFC advent be made a bit more clear?

For example, I go to https://raku.org/archive/rfc/by-group.html and see some of RFCs are blue-ish, some are red-ish and some items have no background. Status:Frozen?

I think it will help people to participate to give a bit more detailed explanation on what is requested.

Also, while usual Advent posts have plenty of examples and semi-free blog post structure, it is not clear how those can be organized. Is it possible for you to post your article soon-ish so that people could copy-cat at least the overall structure instead of inventing wheels?

Thanks.

Here's the calendar:

1. Request for contributions will be open until November 1st. You do a pull request on this file with the article you want to propose and the day you need.
2. Articles should be ready by November 15thDecember 1st. Post it in a gist so that the rest of the contributors can check it out.
3. Meanwhile, request privileges in Wordpress for publishing there from someone with more privs.
4. When all kinks have been ironed out, schedule it for publishing on the day that you've requested.
5. On the day it's scheduled, check it, spread the word, hype it all you want.

Adapt to change of name, updating all references to Perl 6

A handy thing for users: a list of all existing Raku Advent articles with links to them.

The primary list should be in order by title then date, but another listing by date then title would be useful also.
