This place excels in starting with a single, clearly defined, abstracted problem, and refining the set of proposed solutions down to a clear, concise, efficient solution. Many hands make light work!

Now, imagine if each of the Perl(5) opcodes was proffered here -- say: one per weekend -- on a Friday night - say: US West Coast time -- in the form of a hack-a-thon task for that weekend.

What might result from that exposure of a clearly defined task to the assembled (and usually quite bored on weekends), diverse populous?

If those more enlightened tolorant members of p5p were enthused to cast a critical eye over the proceedings -- to catch the less obvious pitfalls in the evolution of solutions -- then the results might be usefully fed back into the p5p process and result in benefits for all.

Thoughts on: Is the idea viable?

Thoughts on: Are any members of p5p willing to participate?

Caveats?

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
