Re: Visibility of code-like sections...

I tend to stay away from the catacombs, cool uses, snippets and Q&A sections, because some of them act weird and I can never remember which or why. Personally, I've always thought that the sections containing interesting code should start out as ordinary meditations and have to be upgraded to that status.

The way it's set up now, it's full of uninteresting one liners and poorly designed ick... (Along with a few interesting things here and there.)

Knowing that I'm more likely to find what I'm looking for on CPAN than in the snippets and code sections, and given that I don't like to post in them, I tend to ignore those sections completely.

I think that's more likely to be a problem than not getting front paged... could be just me though.

Well, I see, and it may well be that others share your feelings. It's a social issue though: it would be enough that you would try on the one hand to give those section one more chance and on the other one to possibly post there some interesting/good code of yours, passing or not passing through a meditation according to your tastes. Personally, I'm positive about those sections, and in case they actually are an underrated or underdeveloped part of the Monastery, I'd like to see them flourish instead. The potential is all there.
