It's an interesting idea..
I'm just wondering how much actual work it would take to make it useful for anyone who's looking for answers to a certain problems.. i.e. someone will have to do quite a bit of sorting and categorising to make it suitable for any sort of publication. Most of the people that keep up Perl Monks (and hooray for them) seem to have enough to do already :)
(There's a whole lot of redudant stuff, posts that say the same, posts that are inacurate, because of misunderstanding the question etc. And who's to judge whats 'good' and 'useful' and whats not?)

Having said that, maybe the exported bundle of actual node data will be useful to someone.. Apart from setting up a mirror, I can't think of a real use at the moment. If anything, it'd be nice to put on a CD to make sure it doesn't get lost.. Though I hope that PM does backups anyway...

• 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.
