I think that PerlMonks should be about Perl 5 only. Very simply because the word "Perl" implies "Perl 5" to the outside world, even more so now the rename of "Perl 6" to "Raku" has been put in action. As various people have noted in this thread, PerlMonks wasn't a place that was recommended by the Perl 6 community for questions about Perl 6 in the past. And this will even become less so now with the rename.

I've spend a lot of time on PerlMonks in the past, and I have fond memories of it. And also not some not so nice memories. But that's a thing of the past, and we need to look to the future.

Let PerlMonks be about Perl 5 so we can all start healing. Please don't try to be politically correct. Just politely point people with questions about "Perl 6" or "Raku" to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/perl6 now, and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/raku in the further future.

And soon enough we'll meet again, somewhere, somehow. Because blood is thicker than water.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
