Re: Proposed "Hall of Pearls"

This is really two different projects: (1) Developing a database of quotations, (2) Displaying or using them in one particular way or another. The interesting (challenging) project is #1. And it's one for which PerlMonks is not particularly well suited, unless one person were to take on the role of collector, and use his/her homenode/scratchpad for it. As for the second part, I concur with grinder: it's way too complicated, for too little benefit. (See related discussion in this subthread.)

On the other hand, if you can provide your collected sayings in fortune format, you could use a program such as my fortune page to display selections from it, e.g. in an iframe.

iframe is not an approved tag. It only works on home nodes for viewers who haven't elected to filter the HTML of home nodes (and so is mostly doomed to stop working -- it presenting a risk of cross-site scripting). - tye	[reply]

For the Free Nodelet, of course. E.g. in a way related to what I described here. We're building the house of the future together.	[reply]
