Perl Monks is a great web site, there is a huge wealth of information and a fun/friendly environment. As for suggestions: I have several things, many of which have already been mentioned, but I'll repeat for emphises. Some I think are new though:
- The chatterbox ideas previously mentioned are great.
- Being able to view older messages would be good. Sometimes I get distracted and miss a huge part of a conversation. Maybe a scroll bar would be appropriate.
- Being able to put the chatterbox in a separate window with a meta refresh is a great idea. But don't make it the only choice. Remember TIMTOWTDI!
- Some one suggested cleaning up the dark color scheme. I think it would be cool to customize our own color schemes. But I suspect that it would not be easy to implement.
- Add a place for users to post links to other good perl resources.
- I like the 'Stumbit' buttons. Don't change that.

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.
