Tye may be on to something. However, I am a recently new monk and I know that I haven't posted some of the brightest questions and comments myself. What I'm basicly saying is this, "How can the new monks learn if they don't have access to certin links, Q&A, within the Monistary?" In everything we do, there will always be a learining curve, the monks should be patient with the new monks.

The older monks should help the newer monks by guiding them to the right areas when they first start asking questions, thanks Fastolfe. Now, the newer monks have to take responablilty here also, they have to be willing to ask questions. How about doing something like linking older monks up with newer monks? Like a mentorship or something. Then if the new monks have questions then they can email their mentor and ask before posting to the Monistary pages. This would allow the newer monks to look around and see what is available to use and a chance to meet, by email, some very knowledgable people in perl.

If a forum of this type is cosidered, then anyone under level 5 (monk) should be assigned a mentor. A level 5 monk should have enough knowledge to make intelligance decisions before posting.
Well that is about all I have to say about this issue.....agree or disagree?
