in reply to Not so cool uses of perl

Maybe a section where each user can say in what they are working with Perl can be interesting. Let's say, each user in your node can write about this, and in the PM menu we can have a browser for this "works", since I think that each Perl programmer is working in different things all the time, creating new modules, projects that uses Perl, etc...

Know about what the other Perl programmers are doing can be very useful to have a better vision about the use and development with Perl, or to find people that are doing similar things.

    I think it would be great if perlmonks started to be more of a coding community (rather than a community for coders). That is, make a section where people can write about their current projects and what-not. We don't need to go all the way to being a sourceforge clone, of course, but I think we could use something more than just writing about your current projects on your home node.

      Here here! Japhy has just stated in 11 words what most of my reply to the OP was. I also agree that we need to avoid becoming perlforge. Maybe a good first step would be to create a "My Projects" sections for each among us to post the projects we're working on and invite discussion there.
