Hi!

There is some information in the Perl 6 FAQ here:
http://www.perl6.org/archive/faq.html

For example: "That said, there is a release date for Rakudo: In Q2
2010 Patrick Michaud will release a useful and usable (but not feature
complete) Perl 6 compiler".
2010 has already passed, but I honestly don't know about this Topic.
Did the release happen? Does anybody know? Otherwise, we could just
remote the section and Point to pugs & parrot.

Also, planetsix.perl.org which is linked in section "Is there a
release date set for perl 6.0 ?" is dead. Is it just down or can we
remove it fro the list?

Hi Alex,

I'm curious where you found the link to that site. It states at the top
"this file is part of the perl6 archive", so it's not expected to be
held up to date.

The planetsix has been moved to planetaria (planeteria?) a few months
ago, which currently had its domain taken or something like that.
There's pl6anet.org in the mean time.

cheers

Hi Timo,

I noticed the archive in the URL but immediately scrolled a bit, so I did not read the hint, sorry. It's not really visually apparent, too (maybe add an icon, border etc.?)

The page shows up as #1 search result when searching for "Perl6 FAQ" on google - at least for me in the personalized search.

As there is no other FAQ at the moment (AFAIK), maybe we should let the page die = remove it from the web? Or let it automatically forward to http://www.perl6.org/?

HTH,

We do have this one:

http://faq.perl6.org/

But I'm not sure if that's even discoverable from our main page at all ...

May be a good idea to add a link from the archived version to the faq.
subdomain; I don't have access to the server that stuff lives on, I
believe ...

I think the above merge fixes the linking issue and I'm about to commit a change that makes it more obvious that we're reading an archive. Together, I think the changes take care of this issue.
