As I said, all and any reason to not post in StackOverflow are valid. Just add a few points here

But in the months I have been following the tag, there's a single question that has been closed. It didn't deserve it, in my opinion, and I did my best to try and keep it open. In general, the community following the perl6 tag is as welcoming and helpful as the perl6 community, in general. > (5) I question how much it improves visibility to post perl6 material > > at stackoverflow: there's so much stuff there very few people look at > > the place as a whole: the only people likely to look at a perl6 > > discussion are the people who are already interested in perl6. > > Stack Overflow puts out data about how many questions get asked > for each language.

I just want people to find Perl6 questions easily, and for people in general who follow other, related tags like regexes or unicode to see perl6 questions so that they are interested in it. JJ
