I don't want to get too far ahead of things as there doesn't appear to be
a for sale sign on the
PPT lawn yet, but I think this is a great idea for a number of reasons (leaving aside the fact that
I think the
PPT is a worthy project on its own):
- It would be great to be able to point people to a solid product of all
the meditations on Perl
- This is not a monolithic beast of a product, but a large number of sometimes even
tiny bit of useful code, something that
could serve as tutorial fodder for all manner of monks
- It would be well in keeping with the tradition of
monasteries producing carefully made products
- It would provide meaningful and productive activity for
those who just bang around here all day praying for clever
questions to answer, with nothing better
to do that chat and avoid their real lives ;-)
- The distribution might even include a note about the
Offering Plate
Having said that, if this were to go ahead it should probably have
a prominent location somewhat separated from the rest of the Monastery,
and a group of monks would have to be appointed to supervise
development, maintenance and testing, and I'd be happy to offer whatever assistance
I could.
