What next for CP?
-
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:

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:

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
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

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 ???
Comics, Animated series, Films based Bob :bob:

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.

I believe it is being worked on. For at least 5 years to my knowledge. If only they had a group of developers willing to volunteer their time to help the communi... oh, wait....

But still I'm glad that forums not flooded with those type of questions

Why can't Q&A do a pop over/under to google with the title of the question entered as the search criteria.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
