| Mar 29, 2017 at 12:25 | comment | added | Arjun | Hey Martin! I agree with all the suggestions you and others have listed in the answers (excluding few exceptions on the second page). But as of March 29 2017, I don't think any of the suggestion has been implemented (I have'nt checked through all the answers; perhaps a few have been). So, is there any likelihood that the suggestion will ever be implemented? | |

| Oct 16, 2016 at 12:46 | comment | added | Martin Ender Mod | @trichoplax SE is aware of this list and is currently reviewing it afaik. Yes, originally the idea was to make separate feature requests, but I'm not sure how much use that would be now before we get some feedback which of these things are feasible. I don't mind having separate feature requests though. | |
| Oct 16, 2016 at 12:45 | comment | added | trichoplax is on Codidact now | How should we proceed now that there has been a lot of voting on these suggestions? Will the community managers use this question as a feature request collection, and choose what is feasible, or should we be raising separate feature requests like meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/10324/… ? | |

| Jun 22, 2016 at 19:00 | comment | added | noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ | @MartinEnder Can we transfer the responsibility of turning these ideas into proper feature request to the moderation team as a whole? It looks like it's a pretty big task... | |

| Apr 25, 2016 at 21:18 | comment | added | Martin Ender Mod | @CrazyPython I don't think so, but I also haven't found the time yet to flesh out the popular ones as proper feature requests yet. I'll try to make some progress on this soon. | |

| Feb 22, 2016 at 20:59 | comment | added | Doorknob Mod | @GraceNote For the record, I second Martin's last comment as well. | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 19:16 | comment | added | Martin Ender Mod | @GraceNote I'd be fine with that. Seems like a good compromise between acknowledging that we're graduating and giving these requests the right priority in the graduation context. | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 19:15 | comment | added | Alex A. Mod | I also don't agree with Mego. To me, having the site text make sense in the context of what we do is more important than actually graduating. Sure, the regulars are used to the generic Q&A style text, but it's certainly not obvious to new users how everything translates to our site. | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 19:15 | comment | added | Grace Note StaffMod | Alright. There's the graduation process (enables elections and community ads, removes beta label, allows migration paths pending approval) and then a separate design process (actual visual design, plus increase of privilege levels). If I understand it right, the former would be fine to proceed with, but we'd want to work on reviewing the stuff in here before starting the gears on the latter, yes? | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 18:44 | comment | added | Martin Ender Mod | So, maybe all of this doesn't have to happen before you flip the first switches, but it would be great if some of these things could be taken into consideration as part of the graduation process. I don't see the graduation myself as that incredibly important that everything else on this list can wait. So if we could get some of those things while we're graduating that would be great, even if it did push back the graduation by a few weeks. I feel like once we have our colours people might also stop caring about these changes to a certain degree. | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 18:42 | comment | added | Martin Ender Mod | @GraceNote I personally don't quite agree with Mego's order there. Of course, we don't want all of these things to be done before the beta label goes (I'm not confident that we'll ever get some of them, since they'd require substantial work on your part, and we're still a rather minor site in the network, I suppose). However, I think some things like the tour page and help centre are actually more important to the impression this site makes than getting fancy colours. Seeing how out of place some of these texts are they make the site seem more unfinished than the beta design. [tbc...] | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 18:37 | comment | added | user45941 | @GraceNote All the suggestions that we've made and upvoted aren't really dealbreakers - at most, they're minor annoyances that we've learned to deal with, but we would like the improvement at some point. Personally, I think the order should be removed beta status, increased privilege requirements, then the design and these improvements at the same time or close to it. If we have to wait 6-8 weeks for what largely amounts to some changed text, we can handle that. | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 18:35 | comment | added | a spaghetto | @GraceNote I personally assumed these would be things that happened after graduation (maybe around the time we get our design) and not before. | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 18:26 | comment | added | Grace Note StaffMod | Question - let's assume that you folks were to be set to "graduated" status right this week. Would that be alright, or would you folks prefer that one or more of these textual-quick-fix-maybe-sorta deals were addressed before we started flipping switches? Keep in mind that privilege levels won't immediately change, so there shouldn't be too large a change to warrant concern, but thought I'd check in first if these were more of "Things to look into as part of the graduation process" or "Things to look into prior to graduation". | |

| Feb 12, 2016 at 4:12 | comment | added | trichoplax is on Codidact now | Not an answer as this already has a meta post, but since, like Code Review, we're not a Q&A site with only short snippets, Should we increase our post character limit to allow substantial stack snippets? | |

| Feb 10, 2016 at 8:27 | comment | added | Peter Taylor | @Draco18s, Puzzling started out as Q&A and drifted a long way away from its original scope. It's a shame, because it was a more interesting site in the first couple of months than it is now. | |

| Feb 9, 2016 at 23:25 | comment | added | Martin Ender Mod | @Rainbolt this is specifically about improvements regarding the problem that we're not a Q&A site but are using Q&A software. This is specifically not tagged feature-request but discussion, because those actual feature requests are still supposed to be posted separately and linked to from here. The main idea is to collect all these closely related ideas in one place to refer to. I'm pretty sure this will ultimately have an expiration date automatically, when either SE goes about implementing some of these things or says "not going to happen". | |

| Feb 9, 2016 at 23:19 | comment | added | Rainbolt | Even if this question becomes restricted to only new ideas, that would mean all future suggestions for improvement would be a duplicate of this one. If we're all going to post our good ideas in one place for a while, at least give it an expiration date. | |
| Feb 9, 2016 at 23:14 | comment | added | Alex A. Mod | Taking @Rainbolt's feedback into account, perhaps it would make more sense to restrict this to new ideas for improving the site. | |
| Feb 9, 2016 at 23:13 | comment | added | Rainbolt | I voted to close this as Too Broad. Basically every answer to every question about improving the site that hasn't already been implemented is also on topic here (for example, see Alex's answer, which is pretty much a copy of this other narrower question). | |

| Feb 9, 2016 at 22:55 | comment | added | Alex A. Mod | @Draco18s Right, we're well aware of our friends at Puzzling (we even share a moderator), but the number of non-Q&A sites on SE is like a drop in the ocean compared to the "traditional" Q&A sites. | |

| Feb 9, 2016 at 22:15 | comment | added | Draco18s no longer trusts SE | Interestingly, we have a handful more "questions" than Puzzling does (22 pages). It's also in beta, of course, but it means PPCG isn't unique in how it uses the site. | |
