this didn't age all that well...
  • Codidact Meta is for questions about the instance that we will host. It is not about the platform itself; for that, please continue to use [GitHub](https://github.com/codidact).
  • But what does that leave, you ask? Use this meta site for questions about:
  • - instance-level policies and governance
  • - new communities that would (or might) like to join us and how to help them
  • - setup/configuration of our instance (URLs, services, integrations, etc)
  • - emergent patterns on our communities that might need to be fed back to the platform developers (community X has this need and is currently kludging it by doing Y; what would help them? etc)
  • It's also fine to ask questions about using the software itself (currently QPixel, later Codidact). If it turns out to be a bug someone can file a report on GitHub so it doesn't get lost, but I assume there will be "how do I do X?" and "why did this do that?" questions. Those are fine.

Update. 
What, another meta?  What's this site for?

  • Finally, I see that Codidact Meta has a meta site. That's built into QPixel. We should probably, um, ignore that.
