Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

After reading the comments of the commenter "surface tension" in the link http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/bazgw/perl6_journal_the_ghost_of_algol_68/ , I felt he is right when spoken of a usable release, its generally meant how something can be done or achieved.


I was thinking if Perl 6 users can randomly write their experiences to some place like text document or git hub. Any information can be written like their programs which worked, or how they worked out a specific feature, or how a specific feature of perl 6 can be used etc. Over time this can add a lot of useful information for both new users and for people who are writing books. It can also act as a reference/tutorial in the future.

What say guys? Something like a CPAN for documentation, programming tricks etc?

    There are a lot of places already where you can tell us (and by "us" I mean the Perl 6 community) about your tips, tricks, errors, achievements and problems.

    Currently we have more of a problem of having too many places to look at, not too few. Introducing another system/website/whatever is very unlikely to help.

    Ironically as a solution I did introduce a new website, http://perl6.org/, in the hope that it is easy to keep up-to-date because it mostly just links to other pages, and is easy to change.

    If you really want to help, please don't do the same (introducing a new site), but work with the existing sites; please fight against your "not invented here" syndrome.

      Thanks, for the links.
