Though I like the "concept" of what you're suggesting, I'm afraid that the reality could/would cause a defocusing of the community.
However... How about the addition of a links page or area strictly for those helpfull sites that we all visit/use? I know that the site already has an Outside Links area but these are primarily perl and perl related links (and as this IS perl monks is as it should be) but I'm thinking of a section devoted to links to nonperl but useful programing and related sites.

One possibility is a free for all(members?) to post links page or area with voting on whether a particular link stays or not?
