They aren't insightful points, they are the same ones that get raised every single time this come up.

Always, there are a bunch of people who stand around going "Nope. You can't do it." no matter what is suggested. You can just imagine what they would have said if they had been asked about setting up a website for Perl discussion:

"Nope. You can't do that. Nobody will post because their words might get used."

I'm quite glad that they weren't asked.

I rather like the idea, because a couple of times I have needed to look something up, and PerlMonks has been down. I can recall wishing that I had a local copy to refer to. I even considered mirroring it, but thought that would be a rude bandwidth hit on EDC. I'd sling Aus$20 to someone for a copy of the PM CDROM.
