Discoverability for the new Proposals site

+3
−0

Now that there is a separate Proposals site with its own Meta and other categories, that would seem to qualify as a separate "Codidact Community" which should be listed among the "Other Codidact Communities" in the standard page footer. (Since this footer also always lists the current community, maybe it should just say "Codidact Communities"?) But it doesn't. It also doesn't appear on the main list of communities on https://codidact.com/ .

This makes the process less discoverable than it should be; people will come to the Meta community and see a "Site Proposals" category, only to be directed somewhere else.

Aside from that, clicking the button labelled "Not here (use new site)"... doesn't lead to the new site; it brings up an error message instead (which just says "You don't have a high enough trust level to post in the Site Proposals category."). This seems like not the best possible UX. If this button can receive custom text, it should be possible to give it a custom URL as well.

Hmm, this got fixed back when you asked the question, but something seems to have held up deploying it. I'm looking into it.
