Architecture & Implementation Team

• Larry Wall is the inventor of Perl, rn, patch, and many other wonderful things. He is the language designer for Perl 6, and has staked out the perl5 to perl6 translator as his own project.
• Damian Conway is helping Larry Wall with the design of Perl 6, providing a different perspective from most. He also writes the Exegeses, which explain by example Larry's design documents (the Apocalypses).
  
  
• chromatic is the project secretary. He is at least partially responsible for delaying Apocalypse 12 with that Roles idea but lays no particular claim to finding odd bugs. He also writes code.
• Will Coleda is the parrot project manager, and has worked on a variety of languages targeting parrot.
• Jerry Gay hacks on perl6 and PGE, and looks after the Parrot test suite.
• Patrick Michaud is the author of PGE, the parrot/Perl6 Grammar engine. He's also the Perl 6 compiler pumpking.
• Allison Randal is the current parrot architect and also hacks on the Perl 6 compiler tools. She started the Synopses with Damian. She disavows all knowledge of the buzz around "topic" and "tagmemics".
• Hugo van der Sanden, knows more about Perl 5 internals than any one person should, which helps to make better decisions for Perl 6.
• Jesse Vincent is the Perl 6 project manager. His job is to herd cats.

• Piers Cawley: former parrot/perl6 summarizer
• Simon Cozens: former parrot pumpking (versions 0.0.1 through 0.0.4).
• Matt Fowles: former parrot/perl6 summarizer
• Steve Fink was the parrot pumpking (versions 0.0.9 through 0.0.12).
• Jeff Goff: former parrot pumpking (versions 0.0.5 to 0.0.8).
• Luke Palmer is the former Perl 6 language list monitor and co-author of the retroactive Synopses.
• Chip Salzenberg has been both the parrot pumpking and the parrot architect, and a large contributor.
• Dan Sugalski: former parrot architect.
• Leopold Tötsch Leo was the pumpking for releases 0.0.13 - 0.4.5, and for some time was a larger contributor.
• Nathan Torkington was the project manager emeritus.
• Bryan Warnock: used to compile the Perl 6 Digest with Simon Cozens. Yes, that Warnock.

• Audrey Tang was the primary force behind Pugs, a perl6 implementation that targets at least four different backends, including JavaScript.
