I recently asked how to make a project beginner friendly.
The best answer I got was to ask the beginners. Clever :-)
So let me ask it on this list.
As I think think the best way to learn Perl is tor practice a lot
and the best place to practice is an open source project I wonder
how can open source project become more beginner friendly?
Many projects assume a lot of background already that beginners
might not yet have. What things would beginners need in order to
get involved in a project?
Adding examples and comments as annotations to the standard
documentation, just like with the documentation of many other products
like MySQL and PostgreSQL and PHP.
Example:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html
