I dont think I'm qualified to make an article, though I'm happy to try.

I would think that anyone on PM that considers themselves to be a non-perl-newbie (say, over level 4), has the ability to write a good article. You may not have the stuff to write something as easily readible as merlyn or chromatic or our other published monks, but you probably know something they don't, and that's what my Articles idea is all about. And if the first time you write something, the article doesn't jive well, just simply use any comments you get on it to improve the next one that you write; given that PM is a friendly community, you should not have to fear rejection or humiliation for writing a poor article. And writing such articles could only improve your own writing skills for your career.

Mind you, we don't need Articles to be come Ms. Slorovski's 3rd grade English class, but I'm sure that this will not happen...
