The Perl 6 development team is generally good-natured and work to be pleasant to each other and newcomers. http://perl6.org/

The Perl community, in general, has always been extremely friendly and welcoming. That seems to carry over to Perl 6. I can't think of any time I was unable to get guidance quickly via a variety of channels; Perl Monks, IRC, etc. are good places to go. Filing issues about CPAN modules can be a somewhat less satisfying thing (depends very much on the author), but usually also results in something good happening.

I was about to write the same thing. Perl 6 is a great community, and they really seem committed to keeping the community welcoming and engaging.

I fully agree. One of their mottos is "optimized for fun" or short -Ofun, and it shows. Drop by on IRC (irc.freenode.org #perl6) and join the fun!
