Referencing people
-
I don't know if that is being discussed earlier. Searched for it and couldn't find anything related to it. (Maybe I should improve my search skills :) ) Anyways what I think that can be beneficial is referencing CP members where we enter text. Like in Facebook when we type "@" and after that the name that we want to refence. Example "@Chris Maunder" that person will be notified that his name is used under some topic-question-article.. I think that might be useful some cases when the user was not cheecking and missed the subject, qeustion and the area is within his intreset and skills. So when he is referenced he can join in the conversation. Regards. -OI

It's an interesting idea, but the syntax needs a tiny bit of work. How is it going to handle the spaces in peoples names bearing in mind that CP isn't operating something like a Facebook lookup API?

To be honest I have no idea how CP's search engine works and I wasn't saying the syntax should be the same as Facebook or something else. If it can be implemented as far the systems allows, I am sure people will get used to defined syntax for it. About the spacing issue, I wasn't thinking of the implementation of it. It popped up in my mind while I was creating the previous suggestion :) because it is also related to Sergey as well so I wanted to let him know some how. That was idea which came to my mind first.
