It's just a maturing process for PerlMonks. When I hit sainthood (3000 XP) four years ago, I think I was around #80. Today, there are 416 people with 3000 XP or more and 73 people with 10,000 XP or more. I think it's really cool I have something other than attempting to break into the top 51 and vainly attempting to surpass BrowserUk2 to look forward to.

However, there is an actual real change - the XP required to have 40 votes/day has gone up dramatically. 3000 XP used to have 40 votes (it now has 24). You now need 30,000 XP to have 40 votes. You can also get more than 40 votes/day - a Pope3 gets 54 votes. I am definitely looking forward to spending an extra 2 votes/day voting on all of Abigail-II's nodes until he hits 40,000 XP. :-)

  1. I'm #7 right now.
  2. The only person who joined after me with more XP than me.
  3. While vroom is the only Pope right now, merlyn is only about a year away from becoming the second Pope ...
My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
