Yes. No one said it would be easy or happen tomorrow. > - Is certification a necessary precondition for X, Y and Z? > - Aren't problems X', Y' and Z' really caused by something else, > not the lack of certification? Certification is not Necessary for anything. It's just something trying to help out a situation. It's not THE solution. It's part of the solution. > - Are X, Y and Z important? Desirable? Achievable? Importatn enough for us to argue over it. I know that doesn't really mean much. But the lack of respect that Perl gets has caused a lot of pain, problems, and waste (of time, money, and effort). > - Shouldn't we really be focusing on A, B and C instead? We should keep our minds and attention available to a lot of things. As I said, this is not THE solution; it is merely a part of it. Other things need to be considered as well. --Alex _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
