Remember, back in the day, when Piers Cawley did regular summaries of the discussion on Perl 6 mailing lists?
Perl 6 discussion is now almost all on the freenode IRC channel #perl6. Lots is going on. A weekly highlights summary might be useful, at least to current sixians, and perhaps beyond.
So, I've just done #perl6 highlights; week ending 2012-08-18 as a starter. I plan to keep doing this weekly for a while.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
