comment on

I've noticed a number of requests for comments on code -- be it style, efficiency, effectiveness etc.

I believe a section devoted to code reviews would be beneficial. E.g. senior monks with the inclination can provide some assistance to acolytes, without cluttering up the main pages.

This would be a good 'learning' resource if, the senior monks received xp rewards for their reviews, and the level of code was less advanced, so that novices (or even the ugly hackers such as myself) weren't too intimidated.

Plus, it wouldn't waste band width -- too much. Nor would it interfere with anyones time if they weren't interested in it.

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.
