RE: New Module Area?

How about expanding this idea into a general "Reviews" section, with subsections for Modules, books, web sites, etc. To keep the quality good, it could have a peer-review process, in which the posts are reviewed by a number of other monks, and only then it gets posted for everyone to see.

Great idea! No one has time to review every module and every book, but lots of people have time to review one or two. There are more than a few modules that have saved my sorry butt on various occasions -- I'd like a chance to sing their praises (tempered with appropriate criticism, of course). I enjoy chromatic's book reviews on /. and would like to see such things here. (Heh heh...I wonder who's going to step up and write a review of La Camel?) e-mail neshura	[reply]

Anyone is certainly welcome to link to any of my (Perl) reviews on Slashdot. I'd be happy to post them, except that it might not quit fit with the contract. I do like the idea of a Reviews section. Maybe within Q&A as "Print Resources"?	[reply]

I agree See my previous post Reviews section on the same topic. I think the voting idea could be particularly useful. Perhaps a vote on both the book and each review. Then a lot more monks would be able to offer their own ' mini-review '. The vote for each book should be always visible - that way AMs would benefit as well. Of course Amazon may have copyrighted this idea and we'll all end up in court :-)	[reply]
