Re: Adding a "client-side manipulation" repository

If you're talking about sharing with other monks "hacks" to improve/customize the way the site actually looks/works for you, then I'd post those in Perl Monks Discussion. This would be similar to the collection of "Free Nodelet Hacks" which some monks have posted over time. Those are specifically about what we can do with the Free Nodelet, including JS. There have also been some CSS posts similarly, though without a nice unifying title tag which would make them easier to find as a "collection". If you SS for CSS, most of the hits will be relevant.

If you're talking about perl code which really runs in/on the client, then I would post that in Cool Uses for Perl, and include an appropriate keyword in the title, i.e. "perlmonks". There have been numerous posts like that over the years, which you'll find if you SS for "monks" in CUFP, Craft, Code, and Snippets. (In fact, CodeCatacombs has a "category" for PerlMonks Related Scripts, which is probably a lot like what you're talking about. But all those code sections have been deprecated in favor of CUFP, which does not have categories; you have to put keywords in the title field.)

I'd post those in Perl Monks Discussion

The problem is, how can anyone find them easily, without already knowing what to search for.

Finding anything is hard if you don't know what to search for. :-)

Or am I missing your point?

Heh. Perhaps PMD is used for too many things though. It's used for the site, but that includes: problems, solutions, hacks, reports, and other stuff. Some is useful mostly just then, some is useful for quite some time afterwards. For example, i posted Displaying Monk Levels a while back, which is just as useful today as it was back then (for the handful of people who care). Or Tye's comment revealing a little nugget of information here. Somethings on the site are simply "hidden" and it would be nice to have a way to find them all, either by tag or section.
