Comment Post #277859 @pnuts Fair point about the homework questions, and I completely agree with your definition of "maths" — just wanted to throw it out there for the community to vote on.

Comment Post #277859 A quick search for the names of the equations I mentioned _should_ get you the relevant Wiki pages. It's just too annoying to work with them without MathJax. Please make sure to include that when the site is launched.

Answer A: Need a mathematics Q&A site
Sample question set A: 1. A box of mass 40.0 kg and measuring 1.0m on all edges is placed in a pool of water. At what depth will the box be perfectly suspended? 2. A current with voltage 1.0V, with respect to the hydrogen standard electrode, is run through 1.0L of water exactly filling an isolate...

Question Arranging footer "other codidact sites" list alphabetically rather than chronologically
In the footer, the sites are currently arranged as: - Writing - Outdoors - Photography - Sci Spec - Cooking - Electrical Engineering - Judaism - L&L - Software Dev - Meta With the exclusion of setting Meta apart, can the remaining sites be rearranged so as to be in alphabetic...

Comment Post #277346 Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down, you can make collapsable sections? Tell me that if posts support any form of HTML coding, that at least CSS and JS are screened so that users can't just arbitrarily execute code on the browser page.

Comment Post #277290 @luap I've been able to make it work for questions, but I can't figure out the syntax for answers, where the answer itself is already an anchor. No matter how I phrase it, I keep getting the redirect to `/q/123#answer-124`.

Question Request: Headings and footnotes act as link anchors
Inspired by the change log but certainly not limited to that one post. Many times I find myself writing an answer which goes on for quite a bit, and I find it natural to break it up with `# Headers`. Sometimes I find that what I wrote on question A contains material which is helpful for question B...

Comment Post #276997 I'm still confused, even after reading the Meta threads on the topic. Is there a Magic Number™ at which we say "there's clearly an interested community, let's go to launch"?

Answer A: Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel
Article 1 discusses each appointee's vote scores. When trust levels are rolled out, will this clause be affected as well to instead reference the appointees with the lowest trust levels? Additionally, until TLs are rolled out, what happens in the case of a tie? What about if appointees differ by only...

Comment Post #277186 I think a reasonable benchmark would be not just “is it reasonable to expect that someone who knows about music would be qualified to answer the question,” but also “is it reasonable to expect that _specifically_ someone who knows about music would be qualified to answer.” There’s no reason I would t...

Answer A: Factual History Site
Scope question: Asking "what if X happened" would be considered too general; would asking "if X happened, is it plausible that Y would be its outcome" be in-scope? (Not sure whether a subject being on-topic on spec sci should influence any scope decisions here.)

Comment Post #277072 @Olin How is your proposal any different from the current voting system in place? Voting on Meta is an expression of "I agree/disagree" as it is. To the contrary, I think leaving site proposals as a q/a format is better, since it encourages expression of ideas on the proposal. There's a lot more to t...

Answer A: Announcing featured links
Thank you for the quick turnaround and the intuitive controls! 1. I can’t tell if I just used post ID improperly or if that override doesn’t work, but using a name and link to a post works like a charm. 2. One request I have is that you clarify on "event end date" that it's until but not includi...

Question Allow moderators to pin posts to that site's sidebar, individually or by seasonal event
Featured Posts One neat feature on SE was that mods could mark posts as [featured], and any such-tagged post would appear in a special sidebar widget. That way meta posts which the per-site mods felt deserved individual attention could be pinned for people to see (often community events and site p...

Comment Post #276751 Or maybe just a color coding: red for 0-20%, orange for 20-40%, grey for 40-60%, blue for 60-80%, and green for 80-100%. You got a chuckle for the Wi-Fi symbol, but I think that'd be more confusing than anything. I give you a two-headed grey arrow for your other suggestion.

Comment Post #276752 Wilson Score isn't *that* complicated. If you enjoy math and statistics you might have some fun with figuring out how the score is calculated, but I think just telling people that 50% is neutral, higher is good, lower is bad is enough if it needs to be employed at all.
