Re^2: Let's Make PerlMonks Great Again!

It is great - at least for us who already live in this echo chamber.

But when it started in ~ 2000 it was (more than) awesome

We are stagnating in the middle ages of Web and becoming more and more cryptic for newcomers.

Just count the rolling eyes when PM is mentioned at Perl workshops.

I have a vision but I want to hear more ideas.
