This is a small feature request and a suggestion for the new pmdev group. I'm not sure of the ettiquette for new feature requests now that things have changed, so I hope this doesn't come across as sounding ... well you know! I'd be happy to lend a hand for any of this as well.

New link shortcut for scratch pad viewer...

This has limited use for nodes - because scratch pad content is likely to change frequently. However, I think it would be extremely useful for use in the CB, e.g. "Take a look at my scratchpad for more info"

Here's a quick regexp...
my ($scratch_user) = $string =~ m#\[scratch://([^\]]+)\]#i
$scratch_user = CGI::Enurl::enurl($scratch_user);

and here's the url:
/index.pl?node_id=108949&user=$scratch_user

[download]
it would also be nice to set up some pmdev mailinglists. Perhaps a pmdev-announce list for people interested in changes to the site who might otherwise have missed a post to the monastery. I'd imagine that a lot of people who have written Perlmonks XML and CB clients would be interested in any new functionality or changes that might affect their clients.
