<p>I've often come across interesting Perl articles that I thought others might find useful (such as [http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/22/modperl.html|mod_perl in 30 minutes]) and considered posting a link to it here. The question that immediately comes to my mind is where should I post it? [Perl News] doesn't allow for user submissions, and the only other section that seems even close to appropriate is [Meditations].</p>
<p>There are occasionally articles posted to meditations, but it is often seen as xp whoring and inappropriate for the section (maybe because it's not a meditation). I think this does deter people from bringing our attention to interesting articles. If there was a separate section for links to articles, possibly with voting disabled on them (or no xp going to the submitter) we'd end up with a lot more people submitting articles.</p>
<p>So what say you? Should we assume everyone will find articles on their own? Should links to articles continue to be posted in meditations?</p>
