This question stems from curiosity more than anything else.
If one was to sit down and write a Perl module with the sole objective of getting that module to eventually become a part of the CORE load, what factors should they pay attention to? Here are a few that spring to mind, though I'm sure there are exceptions to every one of them:
Usefulness
Maturity
Stability
Core-modules-only dependency
Problem area being solved
Cross-platform compatibility
CPAN testers review
Reviews
Also, am I right in assuming that the Perl 5 Porters make the final call on whether to include something in the core load or not?

I wa never coding myself before, but I'd like to give it a try and start from Swift. Do you its possible without previous coding expirience or do I need to star from something else?
"Swift can open doors to the world of coding. In fact, it was designed to be anyone’s first programming language, whether you’re still in school or exploring new career paths. For educators, Apple created a free curriculum to teach Swift both in and out of the classroom. First-time coders can download Swift Playgrounds—an app for iPad that makes getting started with Swift code interactive and fun."
Quoted from https://developer.apple.com/swift/

I know this as been asked but couldn't find an answer that I understand...
Some people told me about the main thing are sagas, but it doesn't look such a big advantage to make me spend my bucks on NServiceBus when I already have MSMQ....
That's a little bit like asking "why do I need ASP.NET MVC when I already have HTTP?"... a little tongue-in-cheek, but still with a lot of truth in it.
NServiceBus gives you message serialization, a sensible threading model, routing, and several ready-to-use messaging patterns out of the box.
MSMQ gives you... message queues! And a fairly complicated API with many low level options that give you no real pit of succes...

Whats the best way to organize code in Rebol?
(Rebol2, not Rebol3. Rebol3 will have import, as it seems.)
Is the do %myfunctions.r-style all that is needed? There is no real package statement like in Java, or #include like in C?
Do community-approved naming conventions exist?
Could http://www.rebol.it/power-mezz/mezz/module.html be considered a standard?
I read somewhere that I could build my own module system as well. But this seems not like a sensible approach to me.
Is this discussion doomed as Rebol3 will be finished soon? ;-)
Some subjects I know use my include.r, released under Apache 2.0 now. It is not a module system but you may find it useful.

Instead of using UIImageWirteToSavedAlbum, is it safe to write your image to /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/ directly?
Without consulting the actual developer contracts at all, I feel safe in saying "Count on it, you will get rejected".
(Besides, is this even possible, given the sandboxing?)
Edit: The iPhone Application Programming Guide says that "for security purposes, your application is placed in its own directory and is limited to reading and writing files in that directory only." If that isn't actually the case (i.e. you can write to /private/var/... anyway, I'm pretty sure it's still "forbidden").

Developing software solutions which already exist and are available for re-use (either commercial or open-source). AKA "re-inventing the wheel".
Same as above, but your solution being broken. AKA "re-inventing the square wheel".
Developing solutions for problems which do not exist.
Again, I'm interested in a more formal approach, e.g. TRIZ
Doing some research beforehand (1) and investing in solid software architecture (2,3) usually helps :)
When you're planning to develop something you always need to calculate the benefits of doing some and the things like the ROI.
