I had an idea to do something like this, but on a global scale. <a href="http://perl-shops.org" target="_blank">perl-shops.org</a>, or something along those lines. It'd basically be a wiki-esque interface that would allow people to add, vet, and who knows what else for companies that use perl. The original idea was centered around geo-locating the offices of companies that use perl, so you could for example search for toronto, and get a map that actually showed you where all the offices in the city of companies that used perl were located.<br>
<br>
I think the idea has a lot of merit, but haven't had any tuit's to work on it.<br>

I mentioned it to Richard before a meeting a year or two ago. he might remember.<font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div><br>I have a recollection. I have a recollection of many things, some of which actually even happened. :-)<br>
<br>I think it's a great idea. I've actually been thinking about something like this for years for the Perl community world-wide. It just requires someone to put in the elbow grease. (My grease is all already allocated, sorry.)<br>
