Use "community" instead of "site".
  • Personally, I am not currently looking to learn Ruby and contribute to QPixel, but I am interested in occasionally browsing Codidact Collab to see what's happening.
  • I only discovered it through a link I happened to stumble upon, and was completely unaware of it before that. If it was included in the list of sites I would have started browsing it much sooner.
  • If there isn't any harm in including it in the list, I wonder if more people browsing it might eventually lead to more people becoming contributors, even if they were initially only browsing out of interest. *(Update: as anecdotal evidence, after a period of just browsing I have ended up making contributions...)*
  • If browsing leads to trying out setting up the software locally, and that leads to questions about how to do so and common obstacles, then that provides more info for future contributors, even if the person asking the question is only setting it up out of curiosity (and doesn't become a contributor themselves).
  • I'd like to see Collab included in the list for this reason. It also wouldn't hurt that it would then be easier for me to get to the site from Codidact when I feel like browsing...
  • ## Consistency
  • Also, from a consistency perspective, I can use the Communities drop down list to get here (Codidact Meta) from Collab, so it seems strange that the same method can't take me back to Collab afterwards.

Personally, I am not currently looking to learn Ruby and contribute to QPixel, but I am interested in occasionally browsing Codidact Collab to see what's happening.

I only discovered it through a link I happened to stumble upon, and was completely unaware of it before that. If it was included in the list of sites I would have started browsing it much sooner.

If there isn't any harm in including it in the list, I wonder if more people browsing it might eventually lead to more people becoming contributors, even if they were initially only browsing out of interest.

If browsing leads to trying out setting up the software locally, and that leads to questions about how to do so and common obstacles, then that provides more info for future contributors, even if the person asking the question is only setting it up out of curiosity (and doesn't become a contributor themselves).

I'd like to see Collab included in the list for this reason. It also wouldn't hurt that it would then be easier for me to get to the site from Codidact when I feel like browsing...
