Yes, but I don't see any of the perceived problems happening yet.

    When you see them it will be way too late.

      There is nothing wrong, per se, with having a separate Perl 6 monks site, if that is what a lot of those folks want, and someone has the inclination to build it. But if that confluence of factors has not occurred yet, we, as the perl 5 community, cannot force it to happen. We -- the Perl community as a whole -- have, perhaps unconsciously, taken the YAGNI approach. Building a separate P6monks site before there is a critical mass of P6 monks is like a kind of premature optimization. If and when the time comes that the Perl 6 community, as a distinct thing from the Perl 5 community, needs a separate community web site, they can build one.

      My crystal ball is no worse than yours, and I predict that there will come a tipping point (from 5 to 6), at which time this site will be truly moribund. (That is to say, the rumors of its demise will no longer be exaggerations.) At that time, we might even find perl 5 slingers "freeloading" on the perl 6 community site. I for one would be willing to do that, because -- I predict -- that site will be sound in a lot of the ways that this site is broken.

      I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.
        The only thing that I might see happening is the creation of a perl 6 section or tag here.

        That is really a premature discussion I'd really love to have this problem now...

        ... we have far bigger issues to deal with!
