May be I was a little hard.
But I had some bad experience with newbies.
There is a difference being a newbie and a very very newbie
Making stupid mistakes is no problem with me, everybody makes them. But fuck-up a site and overwrite the original one with the bad one is *very* stupid.
I agree letting newbies do hings, but do them local !!!! And think before you do things like this.
Another example: At my former school the sys-admins are setting up firewalls and don't know what they're doing, they're testing with 250 users working on the network... Testing ok but not something that's needed to work, use tes-systems!!
Sorry if I offended newbies.

First: If the users coud help with the develpoement of this site, it woud be nice. I think we woud see many new and interesting features.
Second: If a newbie wants to do something for this website, I think he or she shoud be encouraged. I think this shoud be a learning environment, and a place for the fun of Perl. I don't think we want people who want to contribute, or even ask newbie questions, to feel stupid or not welcome.
Of course the code have to be moderated first.
I hope vroom will get som time to code by himself and not just moderate our code :o)
