Hi folks, Since february, the perl review is published, and we provide the perl community with a golf contest each month. The LA.pm set up a monthly golf challenge. If we add other golf tournaments set up by people from time to time (such as Eugene who will propose his dutch open on 15th april), then that's a lot of golf.
One could think this is cool, but: 1. too much golf will kill the golf. If you always play perl golf, again and again, then chances are that you'll be bored sooner or later. 2. the number of hole ideas that could be golfed is finite: I don't say there's a little number of ideas, but that this number is finite. That's why I propose to "group" the challenges, as much as possible (I say as much as possible, since I don't see how to group the LA.pm contests). So, maybe we (Dave and I) should open the perlgolf column to the people who want to set up a golf tournament, and provide them with the pgas interface and tools we have built so far. This way: 1. we centralize all the golf tournaments in one place: every challenge could be reached at http://perlgolf.sourceforge.net 2. although there's always quite a lot of golf contests (one each month), there's not _too much_ golf, so we can rest. 3. there would be more fresh ideas of golf contests. 4. one could be referee one month and player the next month 5. we could set up some big opens in the year, such as the "us open" in july (or whatever), or the "australian open" (guess who am I thinking to? ;) ), ... 6. if nobody wants to run a contest on a given month, then we (Dave and I) would provide one. But maybe everyone will want to set up such a golf contest... So, how should we decide who will set up the golf challenge for the next month? There may be other issues... I'm speaking for me, and not for Dave, and it's not currently applied, but what do you think of this idea? Any comments welcome. Jerome -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
