Nobody would guess what SoPW was without looking it up. "Supplications" is consistent with the monastery theme and being a slightly less usual word makes it, IMV, more appealing.

Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond

    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.
