What next for CP?

How about a test to prove you can think for yourself and locate Google before you can post a question?
You looking for sympathy? You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric (Page 1788, if it helps)
That kind of redesign can lead to close the QA too...

double rep point Fridays? (should please some posters)
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

In a lot of ways, that would be an improvement: focus the site back on being about Quality rather than Quantity. I still feel (as did Luc Pattyn) that QA was a mistake - an attempt to "out-SO" SO which detracted from the programming forums and the article quality and has become largely a "do my homework" hangout. I'm pretty sure there are a couple of members holding down full time jobs purely by posting QA questions! :laugh:

Always ask for the impossible. You won't get it, but it gives you a bargaining position... ;)

Why Google test. Here is a Google test. Once they want to post a question in QA just put popup a message dialogue saying this: "Do you know what Google does?" And in a red button marked with a X put the yes button. And in a green tick button put the No. Only when they tick yes can they proceed other wise just link them to Google. :doh: :rolleyes:

Even I have a 7 year old account I didn't used it really for over 6 years so I can't remember how it was before QA, but will happy to give a chance CP without QA...

Yes, I can see that. To be true I was tempted in the last few weeks to open an other account and send some basic (and not so basic) MVC (I'm in a process of design using MVC) questions just for fun, but hold myself... :-D

So with the sad demise of Workspaces and TV the question must be, "What next for CP?". What would you like to see added or investigated? A public API has been mentioned quite a few times over the last few years, so apart from that. For me: API - but I won't mention that A slicker article editor with basic image editing features. Q&A remodel ???

Could definitely do with better question moderation - a lot of the questions asked are barely (and often not) legible. StackOveflow seems to be more pro-active in this area; I'd like to see the same thing here :) E.g. How do I update with a msg while update..[^]

Where do you think SA would head to boost his rep points?

Okay, here's a thought for the articles. When an article is entered for a competition, it goes to a separate moderation queue rather than the main one. That way it's going to be a lot easier to prioritise your time reviewing articles.

Newbies use Q/A section to post homework, send codez, urgentz type questions.

One thing that would definitely help here is to expand the pool of people who can edit/move/remove messages. The pool is a lot greater in QA than it is in the forums.

Actually, Q&A killed the forums. They used to be very active, now people want the quick gimme codez option so they aren't really used very much.
