Opera 6 introduces the concept of panels, which for those that don't use it, is like channels but that the content is not pushed; it's actually just a straightforward web page that may or may not be updated via REFRESH, and designed for a narrow page display. For example, Slashdot already has a panel that lists the current front page items, and provides a quick search box.

I think that a similar panel would work for PM: a listing of nodes on the frontpage (from a user-less POV), and a search option, possibly SuperSearch as well. Refresh maybe every 15 minutes or so. (It would also be nice to see Perl.com and other sites use this, but I'll focus on the small things first :-) While I certainly could write the code and set up the panel from my own server for my own use, I think there's enough possible interest to have this be done on PM directly.

It's not what you know, but knowing how to find it if you don't know that's important
