monkdiscuss mothra <p>Random thought but... <p>Wouldn't it be interesting/fun if Perl Monks introduced "challenges" to reach higher levels of enlightenment? <p>We're all coders here but realistically one doesn't necessarily have to write even one line of code to become a scribe (coincidentally, I haven't written a line of code on Perl Monks, and <i>I am a scribe</i> =]) <p>I think this should change. Perhaps after one becomes an acolyte, there should be progressively more difficult challenges introduced to be able to reach the next level of enlightenment. Perhaps a would-be scribe could be given 3-4 exercises from which to choose one, and submit their code to higher level monks in charge of "evaluating" whether or not the monk should reach a new level of enlightenment. <p>At the next level, perhaps there would be 5 exercises, and you would have to solve 3 of them, etc, etc.
