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.

    Only nine current voting members, and they just got slashdotted with seventy-five adduser proposals pending. And, according to the email I got back, more than half of the "active players" have to vote yea for each proposal for it to be decided favorably.

    They've got a lot of work ahead of them.
