Greetings,
The perlmonks community is a great resource for everything perl. Has anyone thought, especially the founders of this oasis, about the broad implications of the monk tradmark? I see a greater monastery of brothern and sistern possible across operating systems, different languages, etc... By creating monk-sites of different "religions." I understand that perl is a mighty language and is small enough to be attempted with great success in creating a community of perl programmers. Do you think monk-sites of other topics would dilute the power of this site, or do you scratch your head in frustration when using other resources wishing there was a linuxmonks, or c++monks, I have searched in frustration not find the idea of perlmonks mock sites in other venues. I was just bringing an issue that has come to my mind time and time again that maybe this could spread to something bigger. Do my fellow monks share these feelings of frustration and dispair torn between two idea's, one of creating a fad, or one of preserving a great original masterpeice?
Thanks for your time,
Enigmae
