We should talk about the state of the Perl community -- why did PerlMonks.org come into existence? What other online Perl communities exist, and how do they differ from us? We should highlight and praise key figures in our community; mainly vroom and his cabal ;) of developers who fashioned the site, as well as the Mysticks who dwell among us (such as Dominus and merlyn).

We need a ten commandments of sorts for this community... the rules and regulations. We should explain the hierarchy of "experience levels", and the power of the vote. We should also explain that sometimes, bad things happen to good people (I refer specifically to downvoting).

It is important to state that we welcome into our community all Perl programmers, provided they learn to live by our rules (which aren't all that dolorous). We're a community of learning, of knowledge, of sharing ideas, and of mutual support. Make that clear.

Including, but not limited to, the FAQ, the Perl documentation, the multitude of Perl-related IRC channels, and the Perl Mongers.

We want to hear what you've done with Perl. We want to help you do bigger and better things. We want you to understand it better. (We want you to spell it correctly.) We want you to love Perl, not just program in it.
