Masem has an excellent idea here. I must admit that as much as I scan Newest Nodes, Best Nodes and Worst Nodes I must miss most things going on.

I think that there are two elements to this proposal:

Assuming it's possible to get the process correct, and the it's not too nasty a load on the editor(s), I think I'd love to see Masem's column as a node in it's own right, and when busy as an email.

If it works well, then we could have one or more "columns" from different people at different frequencies. That way you simply chooses the editor that you like the style of.

Anyway, my humble 2p.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
