A lot of these are obsoleted by a good ranking function, which will tend to pull the best hits to the top even without the additional metadata. For example, a search for "rectangular humphrey" turns up this: "I'm starting to get offers from people who want to sponsor features in my CPAN distro, KinoSearch," which is very relevant -- I didn't realize you were the author of KinoSearch, which you are also suggesting as a platform. I agree that node ratings, etc., can be useful, but one of Google's big lessons is that quantity can beat quality: intelligent analysis of huge amounts of generic data can beat analysis of specialized data. This is particularly visible in its approach to natural language translation, but is nearly as important in search.

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).
