Re: Newbie Involvement

Maybe perlmonks could have a projects section. This is something I would personally be interested in as well.

This could consist of ideas for things to make with Perl for monks of all levels. Maybe with seperate sections for different levels of people ie Perl users, adepts etc.

People could add items crafted to teach people about aspects and modules of Perl in ways that Tutorials can't manage. These might be based on projects people here have done for work or just ideas for filling up a bored weekend/holiday while attaining enlightenment.

Then when people have had there go at doing the project they could be provided with links to other people's solutions to similar problems.

Or maybe i'm just rambling pointlessly.

PM has had multiple types of Quests in the past. I think that many of us have also focused on isolating activities that higher ranked members of the monastery could participate in while leaving the lower ranks out. In a similar vein, having a "Project Quest" open to only acolytes and lower would be a chance to let these folks shine. Of course the higher ups would participate by "judging" by way of votes. This would also be useful in that it allows the lower monks a chance to possibly find a friend and mentor. Thoughts? ALL HAIL BRAK!!!	[reply]

That sounds like a great idea. Tutorials are great and all, but I don't think anything is a substitute for coding and/or seeing others' (well-commented?) code.	[reply]
