One of the most underutilized aspects of Perl Monks is the number
of great discussions contained in the "archives." I enjoy
randomly viewing the nodes from the past (
try it), but
it's rather hit and miss. The
Best Nodes list is a good way to hit a few great nodes from the past, but I suspect
that sitting just below the Best Nodes threshold is a
treasure-trove of good stuff.
I propose a "view more" link off of the Best Nodes of all
time list, that would show the next highest batch
of nodes. These nodes could be shown without their rep, similar to the way you can view an individual's nodes ranked by rep. I haven't decided if there should be a new cutoff
for this list (say a rep of 100), or if you could "view more" your way through all the nodes.
Since I'm now on the development team I'd be willing
to attempt an implementation of this functionality if others would find it useful (and not objectionable.) Unfortunately, I'm still getting my feet wet in this new role, but it might
be a good feature for me to jump in with.
So, do people think this is a good idea? Would it peel back too much of the dont-know-the-rep-before-you-vote curtain? Would people use it if it was available?
