+iperl6kernel
+============
+
+This is the attempt to expose an "ipython kernel" interface for a rakudo process.
+
+ipython kernels communicate with one or more frontends (terminals) using ZeroMQ sockets.
+
+Roadmap
+-------
+
+The first two steps are
+
+ - Create a simple shim that connects rakudo with "ipython console"
+ - Create an alternative rakudo REPL that talks to the shim via a simple protocol over stdin/stdout
+
+After that, there's a bit of work to be done, that can be worked on in any order:
+
+ - Bring Net::ZeroMQ forwards enough, so that the shim can be re-written in perl6.
+ - Port over STDs "is this statement finished?" detection to HLL::Grammar and then to Rakudo
