Special Interest Groups within the Raku Community, and how to contact/join them. If you're looking to help with Raku, this is the place to go.
In the Raku community, there are a number of different projects/teams in which people participate. In this article, I'll be calling these groups of people "Troupes". Troupes are groups of people working together with a common purpose or purposes, and they usually have one or more projects in their troupe.
As you become more involved in the Raku community, you will likely end up working with one of these Troupes; even if it's only a bug report, or a typo correction in the documentation, you will work with the appropriate troupe to resolve this.
Each Troupe may also have a number of Hats that people wear.
Some Troupes (such as the Modules Troupe) are divided into multiple Crews, which are the same concept, but at the next level down.
The following are the current Troupes.
