You're describing what open source is about. People do this all the time here on this mailing list and others. If you have some mod_perl code you are trying to produce, put it up and write an email asking for comments. You may not get many people reading (most people are quite busy at any

Just don't post your code to the list itself. It's rude to bloat the mails on the list. Provide a hyperlink to your annotated code. True, but what happens after you get your answer? You take the code down and move on. It would be nice to have a place to post the code where it can be organized

I like the idea. Is there a threaded discussion package for mod_perl? Good idea... I'm working on one, kinda sorta. Right now, it's an Apache::Registry hack based on crufty old Perl 4 code I wrote back around 5 years ago. In other words, I won't even let other people look at it. (If anyone
