As the author of the original post you cited, I'd like to say "well done!" for getting this off the ground.
In the spirit of continuous improvement, here are some ideas...
- Allow links in the comments. My original plan was not so much to create a whole new forum for discussion, but rather a place for links to existing resources. (Of course, I realise you're implementing your plan and not mine :-))
- Allow editing of comments - kind of like Wikipedia. That way, if someone starts a 'DBI' page (for example), then over time links to tutorials and FAQs and articles can be added without creating a huge number of threads for a user to search through.
- Put a search entry box directly in the top nav bar - make it default to the module (distribution?) names search behaviour.
- Incorporate the average ratings data directly into the main page for a distribution - I'm sure you could get it if you ask ask.

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.
