In the list of compilers (http://perl6.org/compilers/), Rakudo is listed first, then comes NQP, of which is said : "NQP (Not Quite Perl) is not a Perl 6 compiler. " . While, if somewhat familiar with perl6, that phrase is understandable, for a newcomer it will be confusing. Perhaps something like "NQP, even though is not really a compiler, hence the name, which stands for "Not Quite Perl", is a small subset of Perl 6 used as a foundational tool to help write compilers (including Rakudo Perl 6) and libraries. " would do more nicely.
