PerlNomic - An Experiment in Cooperative Coding

Posted by Zonk on from the nomic-is-hard dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "PerlNomic is a game consisting of CGI scripts which allow you to submit proposals to alter ... the scripts themselves. All proposals must be approved by a voting process--at least for now. The game is styled after Peter Suber's Nomic. Deep knowledge of perl is helpful, but not required." Nomic is a really excellent game if you like mental puzzles, but somewhat difficult to get off the ground.

    Since Perl is notoriously "write-only", is the voting process on new codelines kinda like pushing an anti-terror bill through congress or an overbroad patent through the USPTO?
