+= Abandoned projects =
+
+This section is for historians only. 
+
+=== miniperl ===
+
+Written by Jeff Goff. Was in 'languages/miniperl' in Parrot svn repository until r12805.
+
+=== Amber ===
+
+Scripting language inspired by Eiffel and Ruby. Original version
+targeted parrot, current version is self-contained. The PMCs for amber
+were in the repository until 0.6.1. http://xamber.org/.
+
+=== Parakeet ===
+
+Parakeet was a Forth that was extremely machine specific to the Parrot VM.
+Parakeet also had a lot of features not found in standard Forth, like local
+variables, nested words and classes and (as a result) nested compile-time and
+run-time lexical word, class and variable scopes.
+
+Removed from the repository 'languages/parakeet'
+prior to 0.4.10, after having been broken since 0.0.11.
+
+Parakeet is also the name of a project the extends the Jikes RVM in order to run Parrot bytecode.
+See http://parakeet.wiki.sourceforge.net/.
+
+=== BASIC/interpreter ===
+
+BASIC interpreter was written in PASM, and used the global stack. It was last
+verified working in 0.0.11 before it was removed from
+'languages/BASIC/interpreter' prior to Parrot 0.5.1.
+
+=== Cardinal ===
+
+The version at http://rubyforge.org/projects/cardinal/ has been superseded
+by the one in the repository. (See above)
+
+=== Perl 5 ===
+
+From r16836 up to r25231 'languages/perl5' served as a repository
+for some Perl 5 - specific functionality that was heavily used in early parrot development.
+
+=== Pint ===
+
+An experimental implementation of PHP. Described at
+http://www.akbkhome.com/blog.php/View/44/Latest_in_Vapourware_PintCompiler__dbdo.html,
+but no updates since August 2004, and the link to source is a 404.
+
+=== Plumhead ===
+
+Plumhead was the PHP on Parrot implementation. It has been renamed to Pipp.
+
+=== Ruby ===
+
+Removed from trunk of Parrot subversion repository. Up to revision 12805,
+located in 'languages/ruby'.
+
+=head2 SFL
+
+Simple functional language.
+A quickly abandoned attempt.
+See http://web.archive.org/web/20070911102734/ and http://www.acooke.org/andrew/writing/parrot/sfl.html
+
+=== Span ===
+
+Span can be most concisely described as Smalltalk for C++, C#, and Java
+programmers. It features an object system modeled on the Smalltalk object
+system and a language syntax designed to be easy to learn for developers of
+C-like languages. Last verified against parrot 0.1.11.
+http://homepage.mac.com/matt.kennedy/Span
+
+=== (Test Anything Protocol) ===
+
+A parser for the Test Anything Protocol
+Was located in 'languages/tap', removed in r26661.
