Three things:
- The chatterbox. It creates an accessible medium to talk to other members of this site. This greatly reduces the amount of faqs and questions regarding typos in code, etc. It also reduces flames by showing that it's an actual person posting that node, not just a name.
- An attractive, clean display system and the ability the modify it to suit your tastes.
- Most of all, as with all such sites, you need the management of the site to only intervene when necessary and maintain a healthy level of communication with its membership. A core group of users devoted to the site is also essential for setting an example for all users to come.
Nice job with the site :)

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).
