Ovid and davido won't claim to know what will happen to PerlMonks as Perl6 takes off. I claim we'll see more mentions of "perl6" and "parrot" in titles and eventually see more mentions of "perl5" in titles and "perl6" will eventually become "the default" assumption.

I proposed nearly this in Re^2: How to let visitors know which Perl version we're talking about (muddy) but I prefer the obvious but still short labels like "perl6" over the previously proposed conventions like "(p6)" (which would never get used consistently enough).

That node also goes into why I don't think a new section or other metadata should be invented to try to segregate "perl6" from the other two closely related and often overlapping subjects.

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.
