Okay, I see where you're coming from @Lundin.
The reason I am not prepared to invest myself in making a concerted argument for this feature (beyond initially suggesting it) is because _I don't know what's best for Codidact_ - and it would be presumptive of me to imagine that I did.
I make the s... (more) |

I have made a feature proposal, @Lundin. You don't have to like the feature I'm proposing, but nothing obliges you to argue about it. If you feel the proposal needs a meta-discussion (I'm not sure I do) and you wish to pursue such a meta-discussion about the proposal with civility and good faith and ... (more) |

As a record, it has elements which are superficially similar to elements of a CV or Résumé, but on inspection, it's quite distinct from a CV:
1) it's explicitly chronological (not all CVs are); and
2) it's subject expertise specific - which CVs certainly aren't
It's the fact that it's exp... (more) |

@Lundin - I've given this some further thought:
I think a Member Story feature would make Codidact _stickier_ and would attract a larger number of people to contribute regularly to Codidact.
I suppose one way to test that hypothesis is to try it out for a limited period and see what the recepti... (more) |

Hi @Olin - I was in two minds as to whether to even include the link. If the link isn't helpful, I'm certainly happy to remove it.
I really don't think Codidact needs to be constrained by the UI / design choices of any other Q&A network on the web.
Why not let's have **chronological record of e... (more) |

Re: _"I think you mean something more curated than automated, right?"_
Yes. Curated.
Re: _"[...] are you thinking of a CV like on SO [...] ?"_
A chronological summary of expertise, yes. (To include highlighted posts too.)
Re: _"Per-community, [...] ?"_
Yes, per communi... (more) |

@Lundin - We are right to seek to determine whether proposed **Feature X** would help positively grow the Codidact community or not.
I think: "Why **would** Codidact have that, _if such a feature **would do nothing** to attract the kind of people Codidact wants to see regularly visiting and cont... (more) |

Thank you for your question, @Moshi. A Member Story feature will help to highlight a Codidact member's topic expertise. It's an easily scanned chronological list of achievements and experience - easy to visually digest and comprehend, easy for a third party to scan past entries which are less relevan... (more) |

| Question | — |
Request for a Member Story feature which helps to highlight a Codidact member's topic expertise I learned today that another Q&A site on the web will soon be ditching its Developer Story feature in which members of that site maintain a chronological log of their skills, achievements, certificates, education, professional roles, volunteer roles, accreditation etc. in a specific subject-related c...

A dedicated Locations Codidact, separate from Travel sounds like an excellent idea. (more) |

Thanks, @MonicaCellio - great to hear badges might be a possible innovation in future even if they aren't an immediate priority. I agree with you that badges are at their best when they aren't trivial but help to nudge / shepherd / guide / reinforce desirable community-member behaviour, interaction a... (more) |

@FoggyFinder - I think your take on badges is absolutely fair enough and I'm sure you won't be the only one who shares that take. Fortunately, it's easily fixed by having a **Codidact without Badges** option in your user profile which, when selected, means you never see your own badges, are never not... (more) |

Thanks for your well-reasoned explanation, @Mithrandir24601. Is there a balance to be struck between not wishing to go overboard on badges in order to prioritise _intrinsic motivation_ (I absolutely see the argument for this) and not having any badges at all (which means we lose the ability to _nudge...

| Question | — |
A badge! A badge for completing the Codidactyl Tour. Or even several badges!! And points!! I completed the entire Codidactyl Tour (including filling in question, flagging uncivil answer to mods etc.) and all I got was this... ... well actually I didn't get anything. No points and no badges. Now, you may be working on this, in which case excuse me for being premature. But, if not (... (more) |
