Dear Senior Monks of PM,

Re: suggestions for placement of new user experience/feedback

I've placed some notes and things I didn't find in the tutorials in my home node. Some of which might be worth mining or - if not adding to a proper non-editable/non-commentable FAQ - adding to a PM-newbie thread as a comment:

Is there such a preferred node to add comments to - and I missed it - or is this indeed material for a full RFP medition as ww suggested via cb?

thanx, Peter

Update: Actually I think that there are too many nodes adding some details to say the 2 major introduction texts. And now I added one more by using my home node to collect IMHO hard-to-find meta-information under the heading of Perlmonks - the missing Memes.

Concentrating such information say as footnotes in or RFC thread(s) for the main intros would have helped me a bit - it doesn't need to be fully integrated in the FAQs.

The main time-sinks examples in my case were:

  • line wrapping in code section and the css scrap to get the textarea to have a sane width - not knowing where to look or even of their existance, those are way too easy to miss.
  • finding the console scripts for use in xterms to edit nodes or use chatterbox (with the home work to patch them to make them work again on Unix).
  • The chatterbox nodelet vs page reload after using the chatterbox is also a nice little newbie trap

If a reader of this finds the official thread for such comments, please /msg me about it -
I'd love to clean up my home node's meme section and move most of it to a well-linked official thread.


In reply to q: is there a new user thread to add comments to? by jakobi

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
