Yes, we should show the length of characters for each thing. Yes, I agree. We should show the length of characters for each thing. Showing the length of characters will help notify the writer if t...
Here is a mechanism that addresses some of the problems: Each proposed new site is a full site in the structural sense. It has all the proposed categories, including meta. These sites would be i...
After using this for a while, I have a couple improvements / suggestions. g > c > enter should take you to the categories page. g > s should take you to search. When opening a dialogue wit...
Each category header includes an "Edits" link, which is a link to a list of pending suggested edits in the current category. But nothing alerts people with the ability to approve those edits that ...
The process for site proposals here seems to be that someone makes a post, then (usually) Monica comes in with an answer asking for anyone interested in the site to comment in order to gauge intere...
I had visited Codidact quite some time ago when it was still being built. At that time, there weren't many talks about having the reputation system built on this site. Partly, The reason why Slack...
It isn't clear to me exactly why these particular communities would attract more users than others. For example we already have Cooking, which is something that concerns everyone and which lots of...
I'm reviewing a number of Q&A platforms for use by our internal Software Engineering community. Our implementation of a Q&A platform would ideally be hosted internally or on a private accou...
About a month ago I shared our first draft for a Review Panel. Read through that post to find the motivation for this idea: It should be clear that such a process shouldn't involve "us" (the Codid...
I believe that comments encourage users to think of this site like a forum or Reddit or some other form of social media. But posts that would be appropriate in those places aren't appropriate here....
When this was initially proposed some years ago, I was very clearly opposed because I did not see much use in such a feature. Having, however, now used Mastodon as my main social platform for almos...
I was in the middle of drafting a very similar Meta question when I noticed this one had just been posted. I will instead post my thoughts here as an answer, to prompt further discussion. I see the...
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 ...
I think the basic question is: Would future readers of the question want to see it? The main way to use a Q&A site is not to ask or answer questions, but to view existing posts. A post ma...
First, I'm a moderator on EE. I agree that moderator actions should be publicly visible to "real" users. I wouldn't want any search bot out there being able to access the data. You'd have to be ...
I want to offer a more community- and not topic-orientated answer to this question. Basically, you could rephrase the question to discuss any topic. Many topics have vibrant sub-topics. Mathematic...
If we show raw Wilson score I think we're going to see a lot of confusion and questions -- "is 0.65 good?" "what does it take to get to 0.8?" etc. Even if we explain that it's a value from 0 to 1 ...
Maybe the ordering of the default tab should be more sophisticated, both for logged-out and logged-in users, new or otherwise. The "Activity" tab would then not be the default one, and the default ...
I noticed that questions exist on this network and are accessible that are unlikely to ever be very helpful, for example because they were marked as completely off-topic. Examples Are internati...
The surveys Q&As have been live for a week and while the number of answers and votes is relatively low to say much with statistical certainty it seems as if Powerusers wouldn't have much of a p...
For some communities content from other places has been imported in the past and user profiles have been created, partly to allow users to quickly claim this identity if desired. However, these use...
1. Limiting people who can create and vote on proposals Besides everything, this is great. First, I suggest making a limit [1] for people who can propose proposals. [2] Because before suggesting n...
The problem Almost three years ago we introduced Abilities to Codidact as an improved system for granting activity-based permissions, such as allowing users who have made consistently great edit s...
Thank you very much for this feedback. Seeing our platform through the eyes of a newcomer is very valuable, and there's a limited time window to capture those impressions. I'm going to comment on...
