in thread PerlMonks for newbies?

Thank you very much :)
I suspect many junior monks feel like they can almost never answer a question (as I've seen several of them express).
This is true, it's how I feel and I've seen others express this as well. Helping people at the bottom would create a greater sense of worth for those in the middle.

I'm glad other people can understand my views and aims with this. I was starting to think I'm going mad :S

    You're not going mad. Andy Lester wrote a post titled Perl must decentralize, diversify and colonize and among his suggestions (" How you can help?") was
    Start an alternative to perlmonks.org. Perlmonks is a fine site, but it's long in the tooth, daunting to newbies, and frustrating to search. Surely there's a different way to have an online Perl forum that is better in many cases.
