in reply to An OT section (again).

I'm curious to know if you would have an answear to your question having you asked it in an OT section.

My feeling is that people would pay less attention to such a section (I barely have enough time to check the current Perl stuff in the Monastery, so checking dairy a cul-de-sac section would be too much for me) than to SoPW or Meditations. Maybe you are amazed by the rapid and accurate response you got because your question was posted in SoPW

    You made perfect sense. You are saying it would end up like Perl News, the three code sections, etc. Maybe nodes in a general discussion section should be frontpageable but put near the bottom. It does seem like there are topics like HTML, System Administration, cryptography, C, Haskell, etc. that have loose ties (given the right context) to Perl. We could always say the new section is not meant for questions for competing languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, and PHP. Or just let downvoting send that message. I still do not think it hurts to give a new section a try (assuming it is not too much trouble). We could tweak it or delete as necessary and/or desired.
