Hi Gavin,

It's a very selfless sentiment that you've expressed!  Regardless of whether or not it gets implemented at Perlmonks, I want to be among the first to applaud your good-hearted idea.

As for myself, I've been trying to welcome monks, via a short private /msg, whenever they join the All Saints List.  It's given me a chance to make some nice new connections, and possibly make those who reach the list feel that others are watching and positively confirming their progress.

But I think it would be especially nice if there were some way to specifically acknowledge monks who have made unique contributions, no matter what their level.  I've seen quite a few particularly erudite posts, from a number of monks who are relatively new to the Monastery.  Perhaps your suggestion could be used in such a way as to shine light on their accomplishments as well.

Update:  Fixed broken link.  (Thanks, chargrill)
