New feature suggested

Hi all monks there. I've found this nice site a long time ago and think it's the best perl site on the Net. It would be nice to see a page with subjects and probably a few lines from every single post. It should be split by pages, of course, by 50 posts or something. This way it would very easy to find posts you are interested in and read/reply. Let's say, you are not interested in posts about using Perl under Win. If you have a list of subject and small extractions from posts, it will be very easy to skip it. Don't blame me who programms under Win... It was just an example. Thank you!

There is, at the time of this writing, more than 382,429 nodes on this site. If you divided those in to pages of 50, there would be 7,648 pages. If it took you say, 5 minutes, to scan each page it would take you 38,242 minutes, which is 637 hours which is 26 days, to read all of the pages. And you think this would be easy to find things? We have a search page for searching the site for interesting topics. I think it will be far more useful to you.	[reply]

And if you find Super Search too slow, you may want to try Googling this site or rather its mirror.	[reply]

As BUU already noted, the Super Search works for most searching needs. If you want a list of nodes for convenient browsing, you might check out Newest Nodes. It has many of the attributes you wanted a "New Feature" for, except it only lists the, well, newest nodes.	[reply]

It will be pretty good even for 'newest nodes'. I'm not talking about looking thru all the pages, just the top N. It's up to you. Just a sugesstion. Thank you	[reply]

I'm not sure what's available for site feeds anymore, but if they are still available, you could cook something like that up for your own use. -Lee "To be civilized is to deny one's nature."	[reply]
