'I also renamed the SoPW section as "Supplications". If people have heartburn with that, let me know.'
When logging in, I often have in the back of my mind: "Let's see what supplicants we have at the front gates today."
I think "Supplications" is very apt; causes me no "heartburn"; and gets my vote.

I think it's a nice addition, I just would pick one nit: "Starts at", "Ends at", and "Current Status" are on separate lines, taking up a fair amount of vertical space, I think they'd fit much better arranged horizontally.

Supplications => Perl-related discussions are found here

Thanks! I think that "Supplications" works quite well :) . Except for the fact that this time I didn't get to learn a new word like others seem to have :'(

Never heard the word, I had to look it up. Are you sure newbies will get it?
I'm not sure which problem you are trying to solve with the rename.

Well it's only the Monastery Gates, who's using that anyway and cares about the titles.

So changing the css-font for code sections to early medieval handwriting would be even better?
I have apologize:
I really thought it's about making perlmonks a better place for newbies.
I really should have asked what the intention was.

> Nobody would guess what SoPW was without looking it up.
Did the old title use to be the literal acronym "SoPW" or was it "Seeker of Perl Wisdom"?
update
I was able to answer it myself, it used to be "New Questions"
That's the diff:
- "New Questions",$sopwnum,0,0,"Seekers+of+Perl+Wisdom")
+ "Supplications",$sopwnum,0,0,"Seekers+of+Perl+Wisdom")
unless ($VARS->{fp_sopw_off} eq "on");

Is this the problem we are trying to solve?

I just had a look at "Other Users" and only one third of the monks currently listed were native speakers.
