The Linux desktop is not a programming language. I would expect Linux <i>developers</i> to be aware of the various Linux programming community areas.
I would not expect Aunt Sally in Accounting using Linux on her desktop to be aware of such things, any more than I would expect a match.com <i>user</i> to have a Perlmonks handle.
<p>
However, I would expect the <i>programmers</i> of match.com to have a Perlmonks handle, and know about rt.perl.org, and so on. That's what I'm arguing here. To be an effective Perl programmer, you're <i>in</i> the community because that's part of being an effective Perl programmer. Hence, the "PERL" [wp://Shibboleth|shibboleth] is valid, as far as I'm concerned.
