A building that wasn't a pyramid, but had simple step sided walls is only significant in retrospect!

ie it only became of historic interest after the fact as people retrospectively thought it might have influenced later more significant buildings.

While I agree a page about Perl Monks isn't likely to be that significant - I was making a general philosophical point.

Eg how do you know that PerlMonks doesn't end up being one of the earliest examples for self-organising elearning - a movement that ends up replacing Universities in the future?

In terms of the details of this page leejo posts are more substantive.
