Speaking from my experience running the TPF Grant Committee, I can promise you that while I do like this idea, I also know we could potentially expect howls of protest from folks. Hell, I can't tell you how many times we've approved a very worthwhile grant only for me to get an email or see a posting from someone about what an incredible waste of money X is.[1] Personally I'd love for someone to float a trial balloon in front of the Perl community about this idea. Cheers, Ovid [1] Actually, my favorite complaint is from people telling me that if we don't get enough done, we should just get more volunteers. That's when my brain comes close to melting from trying to figure out whether I should laugh or choke them to death. -- Buy the book -- http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlhks/ Perl and CGI -- http://users.easystreet.com/ovid/cgi_course/Thread Previous | Thread Next
