Re: If (the PM XP system) ain't broke, don't fix it

Somehow, our founders have got things right.

They got what right? What were the goals? To get a bunch of people postings things on a website? That's happening, but that's also happening on other sites, some of them who are looked to in disdain. Or is it to attract Perl people? Well, there are Perl people here, but you could have gotten Perl people in lots of other ways too. And there are a lot of Perl people who are active on about any other Perl forum I know, but who don't want to touch Perlmonks with a 10 foot-pole.

So, what exactly did the "founders" get right?

It seems to be focussed on two issues. First, the snobbish attitude (our founders have got things right), second, the klunky interface. Abigail	[reply]
