I'm not a very high level monk, and I think this is an
interesting idea. Unfortuantely, I don't forsee this as a
true probability. Many of the monks simply do not have
enough time on a monthly basis to post an indepth
tutorial, thesis, HOWTO, or FAQ. If a monk is unable to
fulfill his monthly educational posting obligation, what will
his punishment be? I think it would be quite unfair to
drop someone 100+ experience because they were unable to
provide an educational, indepth post. Another problem with this is
that some people are not graced with excellent writing
abilities. Small posts that provide concise answers to
questions are simple, however, larger, more complex posts
that require elaboration on a given topic are impossible
for some monks, and they should not be held back because
they are unable to write FAQ's, HOWTO's, or Tutorials. Some
people can provide direct answers to questions, and others
excel at writing Tutorials, FAQs, and HOWTOs. I don't think
it's right to hold someone back for something they
simply cannot do.
Just my thoughts,
Apterigo

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
