Hi. I'm sure tye has done some excellent work and I swear I don't mean this as a troll but the Perlmonks additions to the everything engine are not publically available, correct? The only reason I can think of for this is that Perlmonks is relying on the obscurity as part of their security.

So this begs a few questions:

Why would I contribute money to encourage a website to trust in obscurity? and
Why would I contribute money for proprietary changes that would only be given to this website, not made freely available. Sub-question: why wouldn't I just contribute to the everything engine?

Once again, I don't mean it as a troll. I just couldn't possibly find the justification to contribute based on those points, especially when there are many actual open-source projects that could use the help, and thousands could benefit from the code written, rather than just one website.

Just my thoughts on the subject.

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.
