-Newbie Friendly Perl Projects +Threaded XS callback finally gets solved.

-
A seed needs soft soil and water to grow
This is a reply to szabgab's post on how to get newbies interested in Perl modules. Being a newbie in Perl myself I thought I should take a shot.

I was thinking you can make projects more accessible to newbies by having a step by step plan included with where they need to look. For example for docs of SDL_perl:
  1. Look at SDL docs [link]
  2. See where SDL_perl is using the same functions [link] and the docs to this file [link]
  3. Use the pod format to add it to the source [link to using pod]
  4. {BONUS} Come up with tutorial or cookbook [link to example]
  5. Submit code to github [link] or email them to me [link]

Basically assume nothing is known. I know this may seem demeaning but I am a newbie to Perl and sometimes I hate looking for crust (docs). I call it crust because a crust is useful for me to eat a pizza slice, but it has no flavor .

+
+So I was planning staying silent until an exam I had was done. But new developers on IRC (j_king, felix and ruoso) pull me back in. Which is a good thing ... I suppose ... because we finally have threaded callbacks for timer and audiospec to work. ruoso++ for this major contribution. If you remember this was the problem we were having.
+
+The new callbacks capability in audiospec allow you to procedurally generate sound now. If you would like a simple example take a look at t/core_audiospec.t. However a more fun example may be ruoso++'s tecla (a game for toddlers). Myself and Garu think it is a work of art but that is only because we are toddlers.
+
+On a side note some tickets on RT have also received some love ( after 3 or 4 years ... but nonetheless). TonyC++ sorry for the long time in response.
+
+More information on the CHANGELOG.
+
+Also a shout out to FROGGS for his new SON!!!. Congrats buddy!
