Okay, let me see if I understand completely:
<p>
You want a section that is different from [Seekers of Perl Wisdom] in that:
<ol>
<li>It is explicitly for reviewing working code
<li>The posters are aware that the code is there to be reviewed
<li>Replies can be private
</ol>
If this is indeed what you want, I would overall have no problem with it, except:
<ol>
<li>I see no reason for private feedback. PerlMonks is about sharing learning, and this could be an excellent learning opportunity for more than the poster
<li>This would be best accomplished by revising the [Code Catacombs] section. As it stands, there is no real
distinction made between [Code Catacombs], [Craft], and [Snippets]. Rather than adding a new section, I would modify one of those existing ones.
</ol>
If I am now understanding your wishes, and with the above comments, I think this is a great idea. You mentioned something in
the chatterbox yesterday about what you considered good/bad usage of the ? : construction during a code-review, and I
found it interesting. Where I work I'm the only Perl programmer, and there is nothing resembling a code
review. My only reason for writing good code is that I have to maintain it, and my
only means of learning new tricks is reading books and PerlMonks. I
know I would benefit from code review, and I imagine others would too.
<P>
All of this is IMNSHO, of course.
