Some notes and ideas about the layout/appearance:
- I like the customized themes. Just please clean up
the "Dark" theme as parts of it are still light
and very hard to read
- Allow easy rearrange of link boxes (sections, information, etc...)
- Don't make the code a -1 font by default
- Allow more customization in general. More is better!
- Automatically wrap posts that are too large for their
own good
- Allow a "no link boxes" version for those who would rather
just view content and have navigation aids appear
vertically adjacent, not horizontal
- Make the main table width greater than 95% - I have
significant "wasted space" on the right hand side.
- Allow the poll box to disappear if you have already
voted once. Perhaps just a simple text link to the
results.
- (quick plug) I really, really like the dark theme - if you haven't
tried it, do so.
- Make all the images PNGs
- Have a section to suggest changes and bugs, separate
from Perl Monks Discussion
- Revamp the whole "Report a Bug" sectoin. I could write a whole
new node on it, but basically, it has no directions,
takes too many clicks, and does not default to a "new"
"perlmonks".
- As mentioned above, many links are doubled, especially
those in the "sections" box.
- Don't allow blank titled nodes - you can't click on them!
- Have the "requests for the editor" posts be optionally
private, so you can leave a private message to an editor.
- Have a better, consolidated "Welcome" page, with a
single, clearly-written FAQ answering all questions
about posting, voting, linking, purpose, experience,
etc.
- Allow more than one personal nodelet, and allow them
to be named. Alternatively, allow control of the
standard nodelets (link boxes) - name change, add and
delete links, etc.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
