Answer A: Should the post title come before the body?
I think the title text area should be after the body text area for the reasons outlined in 1 and 2.

Comment Post #277177 Maximum comment size is 500 (and yes I've gotten there a coupla times) so the amount one needs to scroll is minimal. While this feature would be nice, I personally would not push for its being prioritized.

Answer A: Clicking outside of notification popup does not close it
Many many things online don't close when you click outside them. But then the UI usually shows how to close it (usually with an 🗙). I think the top of the list should have an 🗙 on the right side (near "Notifications") that closes the dropdown.

Comment Post #276865 I think language.codidact.com may be better: it refers to language itself (what linguistics studies) and sort-of to languages.

Comment Post #75033 "Theres no serious competitor (imo) to the other site": Maybe not generally, but maybe for specific languages? I know Perl Monks, though of course it has much less traffic than SO, has a Q&A section that gets people good answers — I suspect at a much better success rate than SO. I'd not be surprised ...

Answer A: Languages 'supersite'
I think such a site can be viable, can include with its scope all sorts of questions about specific languages or about linguistics (with specific details about scope TBD). I think all the Q&A can be in one category, with tags for specific languages, for language families, for subfamilies, and for are...

Comment Post #276778 Re your proposed siteside categories "at a minimum two categories, one for language and one for linguistics": Can you explain the difference? Where would a question go that requires advanced linguistics study to even understand but is about only Dutch?

Comment Post #276778 Re your category list: There's phonology, e.g., which you omit. And then you have morphology and sign languages as separate categories, even though there's morphology _of_ SLs. Some of your categories are by subject, some are by style of question. And frankly some are insulting ("science of language"...

Question login should be redirect to the page one was on
On Stack Overflow and its sister sites as well as on Wikipedia and its sister sites, if you're on page X and click "Log In", you get to the login page (true here too). If you then log in, you get taken back to page X (not true here). That would be a nice feature here. Nothing terribly urgent (a doubl...

Answer A: How should we approach a programming site or sites?
This is less than a proposal: merely an idea. That's because I've not used SO much and don't know what works and what doesn't. So the following all has a big "maybe" attached to it. The programming/development site should use tags for language-agnostic things (sort, input, etc.) and categories for...

Answer A: Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel
I propose that we need a clause governing the criteria and process for removing a panel member in the very rare case that that should come up. (But I don't know what such criteria or process should be.)

Comment Post #276645 @IsaacMoses, good point. But I don't like that a summary rejection can have been noticed by only two panel members, has no appeal, and has no publication.

Comment Post #276640 I'd say "wait and see". We're not the _Académie française_ or the _Real Academia Española_, that we should decide what people should use. See what they __do__ use. It's early days yet. Or start using whatever you like and see if it catches on.

Answer A: Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel
Article 22 says that all decisions are to be published, exclusive of summary judgments. I think it should specify that the decisions be published with reasons included, and inclusive of summary judgments (though those may not have reasons stated). The more transparency into the workings of the panel,...

Answer A: Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel
Article 17.1 disallows successive warnings within two years. I don't think that's best. The second malfeasance may be of a different type from the first or a lesser degree than the first, in either of which cases a warning may be warranted. While a second warning within two years may be inappropriate...

Question automatic linking to a specific category, by title
I'd love a Codidact-specific markdown extension that links to a post in a particular category. That was really unclear, so let me give an example. A particular site can have a Glossary category with particular pages as entries in the category. Then `[[foo]]` anywhere on the site will link to the "foo...
