- saycheese 10y agoThanks for the offer Shog, stopped using SE/A51 years ago and as is, already have a pretty strong opinion of A51. My suggestion/request would be to just have SE post a request request for proposal to replace A51 on the main SE blog, since SE has had years to do so, has not, and positive the community would find a better solution.
- Shog9 10y agoThere's a longer answer here than I have time to compose, but the summary is simply that we long ago abandoned the idea that A Big Rewrite was a good idea. Instead, we've been making numerous small tweaks to how Area51 operates, adjusting based on outcome, for roughly the past 4 years. As such, the core philosophy (and bulk of the code) behind it is still more or less the same, but how proposals actually behave has changed dramatically. We've also made significant changes to the lifecycle of sites after they're created, which you can find discussed on Meta Stack Exchange: - https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/260754/feedback-requested-design-independent-graduation https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/260754/feedback-req... - http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/283663/its-been-a-year-whats-the-takeaway-from-design-independent-graduation/289876#289876 http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/283663/its-been-a-ye...
- saycheese 10y agoYes, aware of the changes, though to me, A51 is flawed from onboarding proposals to launching a final site. All and all, this was one of many reasons I left, the largest being that communities in my opinion should be based around tags, not verticals; tags are in fact in my opinion how SO is run. Again, thanks, and good luck!
