How do you know that Google logins fail on the third point?

On the balance of probabilities, adding a new way for people to sign into a site that they can already sign into, isn't going to make more people sign in...it will only give existing users a different way to sign in.

And why do you think any Monastery change whatsoever would make a difference as far as the first two points go? Surely those are more down to Perl's own feature's vs other languages?

Not at all!

The appeal of a language is not just the features of the language itself. There is the perception of "relevance", "employability" and what my generation would have called "coolness".

More recent languages have slicker, more user-friendly forums and support sites.

Perl Monks is a part of the Perl infrastructure whether we like it or not. I don't believe it portrays Perl as a relevant or cool language...
