Great idea, but in order to succeed you need to make the guidelines editable like a wiki, and make the accounts something someone already has.
For example,
- https://github.com/bbatsov/ruby-style-guide https://github.com/bbatsov/ruby-style-guide
- https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards
These are editable by anyone and people already on GitHub so it makes it easy.
I don't want to rain on your parade, I think the site is a great idea, just expressing what I think it would need to succeed. I was trying to go to about or sign up and it timed out, I'll be back later to check it out.
- diegoloop 13y agoOh yes, please! It looks like Amazon is having troubles to handle too many requests. Thank you very much for your feedback. Just for you to notice, the guidelines are totally editable, but you have to be a member.
- JeremyMorgan 13y agoYeah, you definitely don't want it wide open. Now that I got to the signup page I see you have github + twitter + facebook for signup options so it appears I was preaching to the choir :) I'll check it out!
- derefr 13y agoHaving a wiki-page regarding a matter of contentious opinion just results in edit wars, because at any time only one point-of-view can be presented as the "accepted" one. Whereas, on a Q&A-type site, you can have "idiomatic way to do X in Y" as the question, each person's point-of-view as a possible answer, and then the community can just vote the most popularly-agreed answer to the top, instead of editing a single answer back-and-forth.
