I think I see what you're after, but how would "most current" be defined? Would I have to tell The Monastery every time I use something? That seems somewhat prone to abandonment ;-). If most current was based on last log-in time then it would not indicate how recent the module experience is.

I have noticed some monks list their favorite modules on their home nodes. I think we can also safely assume that module authors (of which there are plenty that admit to it here) also know their modules well. Perhaps monks who wish to be available for assistance with certain specific modules could list them on their home nodes, then a Super Search limited to user nodes would be helpful and fast, without requiring any additional work.

If you're looking for domain-specific discussion areas, I suspect that many already exist and you are already familiar with the ones relevant to you. I'm not sure this is the best place to start any number of highly specific discussion areas though, but at the same time you can still ask bioperl-specific questions (as you note) and get responses - can you elaborate on what is missing?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
