Personal top 10 contributions lists sound like a nice idea and maybe there are other such lists possible as well, but why not simply include that all in the free form edit field?
Maybe what is needed is more layout there. Nicely styled references to questions or LinkedIn profiles, so people can wr... (more) |

A: Request for a Member Story feature which helps to highlight a Codidact member's topic expertise The idea of the developer story on StackOverflow was to present yourself to potential employers. (For further reading see Introducing the Developer Story or Developer story: first impression where one can also see example screenshots - basically a vertical timeline) It was some kind of resume, simila...

We can technically for sure, otherwise people wouldn't be able to suggest them in edits. I kind of works.
To avoid confusion in the editor, one could delimit tags by comma and strip leading and trailing spaces but otherwise leave tags as they are. I don't think there is really a strict technical ... (more) |

Because technically I think we could have that and maybe it would make sense and then this would not be the bug but the error message would be it instead. (more) |

@#8176 One difference to 10 years ago is that we know much better what high quality Q&A is and how to enforce it. Questions have to be clear, focused, objective, content has to be voted on and the really bad content has to be closed or deleted. I don't see that much risk of a repetition of the past.

@Lundin I see your concern about quality and it should definitely not be advertised as garbage dump, but I'm much less worried there. I like this idea and hope we can have the proposals community with the incubator category rather soon. I will worry about low quality of proposed questions there if th... (more) |

@#8162 Thank you for the extensive update. It's good to see progress is made even during such stressful times. If you need more feedback on policies of the panels, you can always ask for it on meta.
One last thing. Probably other people would be interested in reading this update too but it's quit... (more) |

Now I thought about it and I think I'm a knowledge translator. I can help if they let me knowledge seekers to better seek and help knowledge providers to better provider by improving their respective contributions. Something like the lubricant in the knowledge distribution mechane. :) (more) |

@#8056 In that case I'd say I'm more a knowledge seeker than a provider, but then all the knowledge I seek has already been provided somewhere in most cases. I would not need many more knowledge providers. What most knowledge seekers need is not a provider but more like a finder. The knowledge is out... (more) |

... and for each proposed target site there should be a meta question defining what is on topic and what is off topic and what is high quality and what is low quality. Not sure we could define that here and for all possible cases. (Just saw that Monica had the same idea in her answer.) (more) |

@#36356 Thanks for the title. I like it. I thought of myself more along the lines of "expert amateur" or "amateur expert". It probably just means that these categories aren't totally binary. (more) |

A: Closing Articles Closing of a question typically does not only prohibit the addition of further answers but also signals to the content creator and future visitors that something is seriously wrong with the content and needs to be improved (see also comments by Moshi and Olin). This signal is conveyed with a custom m... (more) |

I have good enough search skills so that I can answer most of my question for myself, but I'm not as educated in a single subject that I can deliver high quality answers to difficult question except maybe in a small area that isn't covered on CD currently. Sure, I can edit and improve existing conten... (more) |

A: Incubator (takes all questions that aren't on-topic anywhere else) community I fully agree that all other communities on CD should be focused in scope and concentrate on gathering a group of experts, but for me this one here should be the exception, because: - Serves as showcase for questions for other potential communities. And where else to showcase questions than in the... (more) |

Thanks for the explanation. That is more or less what I thought it would be. If current science doesn't know yet, one can speculate but one cannot simply break fundamental physical/chemical laws in order to make things works. Instead one should hint at how things could work. (more) |

@#8046 Opening up new communities may not help much, but not opening up may also not help much either. The question is where more people can come from. As a compromise of opening up lots of new communities or opening up none, I came up with [let's open one](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/285535). An... (more) |

Incubator (takes all questions that aren't on-topic anywhere else) community Newer discussion: Let's improve how we manage proposals for new communities This discussion where a user would like to ask a question and sees the availability of questions as main driver of new growth, made me thinking: could there be something to it? For quite some time now no new community ... (more) |

True, without more communities you may not be able to ask more questions, but then if there are not enough answerers, what good does it do to ask a question. You need everything, askers, answerers, good software, ... it's a miracle if one can pull that off.
For example, I like your question here, ... (more) |

A: Does Codidact render MathJAX more slowly than StackExchange? As Derek Elkins says, MathJax is rendered client-side both here and on StackExchanges. That means that Internet connection speed as well as server latency only influence how long it takes until the content is loaded and your browser starts rendering. The rendering time itself is only influence... (more) |

A: Is there a Codidact community fitting for this question (or one emerging)? If I understand Scientific speculation correctly, it's for extrapolating current science for some possible future developments, but in this potential question you want to get a) evidence (difficult for scientific speculation) and b) want to learn something about the current time (not some possible fu...

Just to fully understand the answer, if I made a pull request about it on Github, this answer means it doesn't care either way, right?

Should the active category name not be shown twice on the categories header? One thing one realizes quickly when for example visiting meta.codidact.com is that it's a site about Q&A. The reason is that for example it is written twice: Screenshot of the current design showing the category name twice But is this duplication really necessary? What is the purpose of it? Usu...

I was searching for public information about the Codidact Foundation (on codidact.org) and found only a link to this announcement.

Yes, this is a try to cleanup somehow. I personally would maybe keep a very, very small amount of imported content (voted up a lot or having additional answers), but remove all automatically created users. (more) |

Currently the number of links to SE users is limited by hiding them behind one level of indirection, i.e. you link to the user profile and the user profile links to the SE account. One could keep it that way but still demote the users to something less userlike. Even a single page with a list and nam... (more) |

| Question | — |
How many automatically created users that were never active are there still and what to do about them? 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 users differ from normal users in that they never were active. One could call them fake or dummy users. The... (more) |
