I don't think that visiting site A while logged in on site B should automatically create an account on site A, for at least two reasons: Doing it inflates the list of users, making it harder to g...
Today I saw the following question on Software Dev (this is the beginning): (rest of post...) The title, "connect with SLOT/SIGNAL:QPushButton clicked signal not received by main window" sounds li...
I am starting to think about user preferences. This won't happen for a while, but I'd like to gather input so we can start thinking about a functional design. Currently a user has a single account...
For bugs, you can use answers to add more information if you have it, for example if you've seen the reported problem under different circumstances or if you have seen something work that is report...
User names don't have to be unique (and platforms that require uniqueness tend to frustrate people who end up being Mike792 or whatever), so we need the numbers. Given that we need to include the ...
This is already being discussed in a comment thread, but I'm bumping it up to an answer for visibility and so it can be voted on. "We may update our terms from time to time without further notic...
We've had several bug reports here on Meta about server 500 errors, and we know that these can deter participation. That's bad at any time but especially when we are trying to grow. We want to do...
Based on feedback to this answer and other conversations, I propose the following: Allow anybody with the Curate ability to edit the title at any time (this is true today). Allow the crea...
Bootstrapping. Our communities are still small, so after we rolled out the abilities system we decided to put all our communities in "new community" mode, which lets everyone start with Participat...
I'd like to propose a different way of thinking about the problem (and I agree there are problems here). Some premises: New users don't know how things work, so we need to keep it simple. ...
No system of rules can run only on statutory rules. There is always case law, because no set of laws/rules that people can actually manage will ever include everything. We are trying to write a cl...
We have some posting tips on the "ask question" (or "create post" etc) pages, and we plan to add better contextual help in the future. Another way to guide people would be with templates, a "proto...
Based on all the feedback here (and also on the related site proposals), I put forth this proposal: Create a single Software Development site, planning from the start for spinoffs. Here's how I se...
(Personal opinion, not official anything.) I'm one of the people who, from the beginning, wanted to change how we handle reputation, because while Someplace Else got some things right with it, the...
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 ...
As this answer says, yes, absolutely -- it's your work and you're free to post it here. While you're doing so, please see if you can improve it too. Instead of just copying stuff, let's make it b...
We have just launched Linux Systems and Power Users. Both communities have some outstanding scope issues from their proposals, but that's fine: there's enough of a baseline to get started, and the...
Alas, our unicorn herders have gone missing, and we don't know when they'll return. For now, we've just pushed a change to generate boring avatars for people who were using unicorns. We still hop...
The latest update includes a few small changes of possible general interest: Moderators can now escalate flags to the admin team. If you have a flag that requires our attention, or if you wan...
I made that design decision. If it doesn't work we can of course change it, but the reasoning is pretty much what @pnuts said in another answer. On other sites I've seen a lot of bad titles, ones...
If you know that a bug or feature request is broader than just your site, it's better to post it on main meta if you can. (Things known to be specific to one site belong on the per-site meta.) Re...
There are other types of posts (and other types of top-level posts). In a comment you mentioned the category bar that contains "posts", "tags", and "edits". This has to work on all categories on ...
We should make it easier for trusted users to manage tags. Can we please have some feedback on the following ideas? Creating tags directly (independently of a post): move from mod-only to anyo...
