Please can you finish a engagement project, before you start on the next one. The recent experiments (Comments, Open-ended Questions, Challenges, 1-Rep Chat, Free Votes) on Stack Overflow, that are all unfinished, is not a good experience for anyone.

Moving on to the next one, without finishing the last, really leaves things in a often broken state, or at best detrimental state. Also, when another experiment is started on, the prior experiment loses the development resource and focus it needed to actually be successful in the eyes of the community; both new and old.

I'm all for new ways for lower reputation users to engage, but this should not be at the detriment of the long term users that those users, and Stack Exchange Inc, rely on for their expertise.

Also, just because Stack Overflow has the largest number of users doesn't mean it should always be the place to experiment, and the end point for that experiment. Free votes could be useful on all sites, but they aren't. Threaded comments, though I admit I hate (see my many posts on Stack Overflow Meta on why, but they are seriously detrimental to site usage in their current form), when complete could easily be useful on other sites as well. Last I heard neither of these experiments are expected to leave Stack Overflow.
