I've just finished a read-through of all the PDDs (which I said I'd do
by OSCON), and will check in the embedded notes I made while reading
when I can connect to svn.perl.org again (known outage, nothing to worry
about).

The next step is to go through the PDDs one-by-one, updating/expanding
them, and then moving them out of the clip directory. To make the best
use of available brain power, we'll have open discussions about each PDD
on the list as I review it. Starting with... <drum roll>... PDD 17,
Basic Types. So, what's out of date, what has never been implemented (or
never will be), what needs to be talked about but isn't mentioned?

(The queue of PDDs to review has a semi-random order. If you'd like to
see a particular PDD get bumped earlier, drop me an email.)

I'd like to see PPD 25 "threads" reviewed. The ruff API isn't even
layed out in this document -- is there supposed to be a thread PMC or
what? I'm also concerned about the performance impact of having to
always check if a PMC is shared and having to spin a mutex if it is. At
a minimum it should be possible at runtime to disable the automatic
locking.

there are rt tickets for this task. i find it helpful to use these to
organize the review and discussion of each pdd, you may too. i'll put
my thoughts on the subject in that ticket.
