I often want to see the best rated contribution of the author in recent times. For example, author's nodes in the order of reputation in last 1 month. Currently Perl Monks User Search doesn't allow that.. Technically I can do that..but would like to have perlmonks interface for that.

Any other monk see that useful?

Thanks,
artist

    Good idea. When I have a couple of minutes to read something, I usually go to someone's home node and follow to writeups. Order by "Highest reputation first" and read whatever doesn't have "Re:" (or • for that matter)in the title. :) Better/faster/easier way to do this would be appreciated from my side.

    Maybe I'm missing something... what's wrong with just ordering a monk's nodes by highest reputation and then looking at the dates? That method is available now and doesn't require a public consensus on the definition of "recent".

    A really interesting idea, perhaps the easiest way to do it would be to order the nodes by some kind of decayed reputation, for example:

    $decay_rate = 30; $score_for_order = $reputation / (2 ** ($days_old / $decay_rate));

    This would make a reputation point from 30 days ago worth half what one from yesterday was. I would think it should be a simple matter to add this option

    Technically I can do that...

    Pray, enlighten us how to do that yourself rather than through the PM-interface

      It's easy but time consuming currently.
      1. Sort the nodes by 'Highest Reputation First'.
      2. Get all the node titles-date, (click Next button as often as required)
      3. Grep the records with dates that you interested in keeping the same order of records

        Oh, I thought that it would have been more 'automatic'.

        Isn't there some sort of interface you can programmatically access?
