Q&A

Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Comments on Codidact Collab - should it be listed?

Codidact Collab - should it be listed?

+7
−0

The drop down menu at the top right of each Codidact page shows a list of all the communities in the network. The list is also linked to from the page footer, and from codidact.com.

There is also a community for people who work on the QPixel software that Codidact runs on, called Codidact Collab. However, this one is not included in the list of Codidact communities. Is this an intentional omission or would it be useful to include it, so that interested people can be more aware that there is support for contributing to QPixel?

I understand that not all Codidact users will be interested in this particular community, but the same is true of all the Codidact communities - very few people will be interested in everything on the list.

What are the reasons for and against including Collab in the list?


Presumably Collab would automatically become included if it were hosted on the same domain as the other communities, as suggested in Is there an argument for having Collab under codidact.com?

That's a good question. We kept it separate because we didn't want to distract people from their primary focus, which we assumed would be on the communities here rather than the underpinnings. Collab is linked from the GitHub repository and we expected that to be the primary path in.

I don't have a strong opinion; it seemed like a good idea at the time, and I don't know of a reason we couldn't change it (though I don't know everything :-) ). We could also leave it the way it is and link it more prominently here, perhaps in the same part of the right column (on desktops) where we have the links for ads and donations.

It's also a community, isn't it? Apart from that this specific community being concerned with the software this very site runs on, is there really any difference between that community and any other? If someone is not interested, he can ignore that community, just as I e.g. ignore the tabletop community without being harmed in any way by it being listed. Quite the opposite: Should I ever get interested in tabletop gaming, I already know the community exists.

If this were an answer I'd upvote it.
