I think
princepawn is right. There are tons of places to
get perl tips, and all are basically growing
independently. It would be cool to try to unify
some of the these projects into one searchable area. The
most obvious candidate is mentioned in TPJ this issue and
is a perlfaq database
http://www.perlfaq.com/faqs/. The format look familiar anyone?
This next statmement might be sacrilege, so I hope I
am not excommunicated. I think we should think about
totally
ditching
Q&A before we put too much more effort into it,
and
move our valuable tidbits to perlfaq.com. Maybe make the
Q&A section just an interface to perlfaq.com. Both
websites
are striving for the same goal, so it makes sense to sort
of join
forces (and I think this is in the spirit of the everything
project).
There is some obvious features missing from perlfaq.com
compared
to what is here, like the ability for anyone to instantly
answer a question.
But that privilege might get yanked from here also, so the
differences
are minor. It might just take some dicussions with them
to resolve any issues either group might have.
And
I think their site is more closely moderated, so it should
not have
some of the data integrity issues that are currently in
Q&A.
It is just an idea, but it would be nice to see some
collaboration among the perl resource sites that are already
going strong.
