"Jump to" only has a list of sections containing new nodes since you last said you'd checked them all. For example if since you were last here there had been new nodes in Seekers of Perl Wisdom, Meditations, and Notes there would only be options to "Jump to" those sections, because the others aren't present on Newest Nodes at that time. Hope that makes some form of sense :) ---------- My cow-orkers were talking in punctuation the other day. What disturbed me most was that I understood it.	[reply]

I think this is a valid question. The name of the site section is Perl News. Why would the relevant, er, section of Newest Nodes use any other name? We're building the house of the future together.	[reply]

I'm surprised nobody suggested changing the section name to Perl Announcements instead of changing the link in Newest Nodes to match. Seems to fix all the objections above.... To-may-to, to-mah-to, let's call the whole thing off. Update `:-)` Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.	[reply] [d/l]

Oh god, dont open that can of worms. Unless you want to reorganize all the titlebar links to accomodate the much longer title, which you probably dont want to do. Its a pain. I know. I've done it before. I dont want to do it again. :-) Lets just face it, the requirements for these things vary, and finding section names that work cleanly in every context where they could be used is going to be hard. --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]

Because the headings are plural and "Perl Newses" sounds stupid. - tye	[reply]

the headings are plural Not all. "Discussion" is singular (as are the relatively unimportant "sitedoclet" and "Craft"). In any case, I don't see a compelling reason for these headings to be plural. We're building the house of the future together.	[reply]
