Hi all,
unfortunately I have few time to visit this wonderful website. I'm sure I'm talking about someting that was discussed several other times, but I'd like to undestand more XPs.. I wanted to go to my homepage here, and I wrongly clicked on the name close to mine in the list. I found a user that made just one post and had more than 200 points. at first I thought: this is going to be a real smart posting! I read it but it was not a 200 point posting, (just) a valid suggestion where to look for some documentation on the internet. I voted it to see the reputation and it was five. I assume the user got all those points because he/she is a frequent voter or visitor (I'm getting some points whenever I get here, fun).
I'd like to have the XPs as an indication on experience on Perl (the user I'm referring to can be a real expert, but I don't know since he just got 1 posting with 5 as reputation), so that I might first work on things that people with high XPs suggest, or read their stuff in the short time I (unfortunately) might have to browse the site. Maybe an average reputation (XPs/posting) shown beside the XP for frequentation would help. It could an average from 5th lower percentile to above, for cutting the negative tail for top-skilled guys that are sometimes downvoted for their way to state things :)
ciao
