I think the XP points will only be a useful guide, if they are handed out sparingly. What will happen if everyone becomes a saint in a year's time? Then it becomes meaningless. Maybe create the "uber-saint"? Or Levels of "sainthood"? This is starting to remind me of the "american public school system" where you pass just for showing up, or college where you pass on the curve as long as you pay tuition. I would prefer it if being a saint really meant something. Like at least 5 years participation in perlmonks, and/or a vote amoung all the current saints.
I vote for nodes that produce working code examples, and for comments that reveal "deep perl clues" which can't be found in the books.
