Re^6: PerlMonks for newbies? (variety)

[cosmicperl]

Thank you very much :)

I suspect many junior monks feel like they can almost never answer a question (as I've seen several of them express).

This is true, it's how I feel and I've seen others express this as well. Helping people at the bottom would create a greater sense of worth for those in the middle.

I'm glad other people can understand my views and aims with this. I was starting to think I'm going mad :S

You're not going mad. Andy Lester wrote a post titled Perl must decentralize, diversify and colonize and among his suggestions (" How you can help?") was

Start an alternative to perlmonks.org. Perlmonks is a fine site, but it's long in the tooth, daunting to newbies, and frustrating to search. Surely there's a different way to have an online Perl forum that is better in many cases.

I find it helpful to mentally substitute "A. L.'s private perl soapbox" where ever I see "perlbuzz".
