With Summer of Code’s mid-term evaluations coming up, some interesting things are about to happen to grok. I was contacted by Herbert Breunung, author of Perl6::Doc (formerly Perl6::Bible), which is a project that shares some of grok’s goals.
He told me that he doesn’t have enough time to maintain his project anymore and would like some sort of merge to happen. I said I’d look into it. His project bundles all the Synopses, Apocalypses, Exegeses, and some other Perl 6 documentation, and ships with a perldoc wrapper for reading them. What I would like to do is to move all documentation out of the grok distribution and update/add more to Perl6::Doc while eliminating the perldoc wrapper (in favor of grok).
He also brought to my attention the Perl Table Index, a sort of Perl 6 glossary. Ahmad Zawawi has just patched his Padre::Plugin::Perl6 to feed this index to grok. I will probably port the Perl Table Index to the Perl6::Doc distribution and make grok look things up in it.
I’ve started writing a Pod::Text subclass as well as amending Perl6::Perldoc::To::Ansi to conform to a consistent color scheme when using the default ANSI-colored output.
Something which grok should eventually be able to do is recognize arbitrary Perl 6 syntax (at very fine level of granularity, that is) and tell you what it means. A first stab at this will be to simply include a table of some common ones and look those up. Stuff like ‘my‘, ‘+‘, and so on. Doing this reliably is the original inspiration for the u4x project (Userdocs for Christmas), of which grok is a part.
I hope to make a release of grok and Perl6::Doc shortly which will include all of the above.
Thanks for the update. We may also need better links between Perl 6 Synopses and grok topics or at least mention these in u4x documentation to provide more information.

Should you hire your brother in law’s estate planning lawyer, or the attorney who handled your high school friend’s divorce. People who are faced with criminal charges require the services of a criminal defense lawyer.

I must say, as very much as I enjoyed reading what you had to say, I couldnt help but lose interest after a while. Its as if you had a excellent grasp on the topic matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you should think about this from much more than 1 angle. Or maybe you shouldnt generalise so significantly. Its better if you think about what others may have to say instead of just heading for a gut reaction to the topic. Think about adjusting your personal believed process and giving others who may read this the benefit of the doubt.
