Re: chromatic — A Little Parrot Task for the Interested

[Gary Hayward]

In response to Chromatic's request for input updating
http://www.parrot.org/scratch/todoskip-test-review, here's a first-timer's
attempt at some of the pmc tests.  I've extended blm's original list format
with clips from each file.  I've cited RT tickets mentioned in the test,
without actually verifying that the skipped test is covered by the RT.  In a
couple of these files there may be TODO text that gets defined but never
actually used.

I'm a long time lurker on parrot and rakudo discussions, and willing to help
out with cage cleaning and testing.   Comments and suggestions on how best
to participate are welcome.  I've got a working familiarity with subversion,
trac, valgrind, etc.
