Hello dear monks,

Here's the diagram png,dia

Today I come to you with a proposal for a diagram for asking questions in the Perl community. I did this because there have been ongoing discussions on reddit and other places.

I put forth these diagrams with hope that someone puts them to good use.

There's also a reddit discussion about this problem right here.

The following three reddit posts ticket me off, I had the same problems many times and it was time for doing something, at least describing the problem in a diagram would help other people understand what's going on. So here are the posts: one , two , three

I request your comments and I'd like to know:

  1. do you like Perl ?
  2. do you like the Perl community ?
  3. did you ever had any problems with harsh answers or bans on IRC ?
  4. do you think that the Perl community needs some reorganization ?
  5. do you feel like irc.perl.org is controlled by a gang ?
  6. do you feel that #perl on Freenode is too strict ?
  7. do you feel like ops on #perl on Freenode or on some channels in irc.perl.org are being idiotic ?
  8. what would you change in the Perl community?

Yours, Anonymous monk
