I could support something like this. I am a self taught programmer and, although I have been at it a long time, I am continually surprised by what I don't know. I would like a place to go to toss ideas around. You know, somewhere to say, "Hey I've encountered this problem and here is how I solved it. Anyone else have a similar experience?". I'm not usually looking for a solution per se. I've probably already got one that works. I'm just looking for a little shareing. "I solved a similar problem this way" or "Gee, don't you take a performance hit with that algorithm?" or "Here's a neat trick you might try."

Seekers of Perl Wisdom doesn't seem quite the place for it. I've also noticed that questions/comments of this class don't generate a lot of response in Seekers (of course, it could just be that my nodes aren't interesting (o; ). Meditations might be the right place but, in reading the posts there, that kind of discussion seems a bit out of place. I would hardly call what I do "cool" so I don't feel that Cool Uses for Perl works either.

I could be wrong and if the Gods that be suggest that I post somewhere, I'm there.
