I have been working with the Raspberry Pi and Arduino, using Perl on the RPi of course. This is a powerful combination.

Might it help to re-examine the target audiences, and how those audiences use Perl? For example: If I look at the Arduino forums, I find that while what is there is all Arduino targeted, it is broken down a bit more than PM tends to do. I am not complaining here, simply examining and comparing.

I also wonder if PM might consider 'pushing out' instead of expecting 'a natural in-flow' when it comes to new blood? Perhaps this and the previous question are related. I am not suggesting full fledged evangelism here, but perhaps more a look at the many facets that Perl could work so very well in. A lot of this site is about the language itself, not so much about the application of it - I may perceive that wrongly - but it is my perception.

Just a thought... or two...

...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

A solution is nothing more than a clearly stated problem...
