@Zizouz212 of they're into open source, certainly!
 
Thing is, they're all in high school... :/ But they're really good at what they do. Since we need more of a creative genre, I can catch them up with things and they will likely contribute lots here (as well as the other SE sites, like Graphic Design for one of my friends)...

Q: Vote appropriately to set the lines of our scope

Zizouz212As many members of the community were concerned that the scope was too narrow and that many questions were veering towards a particular topic, some members of the community have now started to draw questions that are quite different from what we have been seeing. Many of us have discussed in chat...

 
HS probably shouldn't be an issue, at least for the age restrictions (COPPA and such).
 
@KevinBrown You would be surprised at some of the ages of Stack Exchange users. All over 13, but younger than you'd think.
 
I suppose, but a lot of us are quite generally nervous that we'll get into some sort of trouble, or worse treated differently (Even though that's not normally the case). I'm more open about it, advertising myself on my profile page :P
 
12:17 AM
Honestly, in my experience, people really don't care. Be mature and that's fine.
@Air How did softball go the other day?
 
I think it's just that stereotypical fear that bugs us. But, I agree. It's not normally the case
 
@HDE226868 I'm in my fifties, why should I start being mature at this late stage? If I wanted to grow up I would never have gone into embedded systems where i get to play with all the new toys years before they hit the markets

Youth is wasted on the young.
 
@overactor ?
 
12:32 AM
@HDE226868, why not link to this question instead of wiki?
 
@Zizouz212 A quote from George Bernard Shaw
 
@kdopen Yes..........
Wait! How come @Ziz pings me?
 
@overactor Thanks, I had forgotten about that one.
 
Not sure: I hit enter to get autocomplete and it sent instead. Guess tat was enough to identify you
 
@HDE226868 No problem, it just so happened that I read it earlier today.
 
12:35 AM
It was completely empty... Hence the Yes.........
:)
 
@Zizouz212 What was completely empty?
 
@kdopen post. It's removed because it was empty.
 
Oh, now I follow you
 
Actually I removed it. I'll do it again if you want :)
Regarding GBS, he had some great quotes. Take a look at brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/g/george_bernard_shaw.html
@over @ziz that should ping both of you
 
@kdopen It did indeed
Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
Brilliant
 
12:40 AM
Especially as he was gay at a time when it was still illegal
I think that "The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." could be the motto for many SE sites
 
@kdopen That is a good one
 
And I'm pinged!
 
Air
@HDE226868 It was a crazy game. We were short one girl (it's a co-ed league where you have to bat boy-girl-boy-girl) and ended up borrowing a girl from the other team's bench so that we could play.
We won 21-12.
It was horrendous.
 
How many innings?
 
so ... while we have the room to ourselves (not), regarding my call for nominations. I'm going back through the blog and the "7 essential questions" link. It doesn't say they will call for elections during the public beta. It says that SE will appoint 3 pro tem leaders which they select to serve until they call elections
 
12:48 AM
But the nomination should come a few days into public beta
 
It then goes on to say "If your meta site does not have a post to nominate Moderators, start one now!"
Not wait until the public beta
 
I'll try and find the link again...
Just give me a sec
 
because "The more guidance we receive, the more informed our choice."
this is why I created the question as soon as I could.
 
> If your meta site does not have a post to nominate Moderators, start one now! Pro Tem appointments will begin about two weeks after the site is created. The more guidance we receive, the more informed our choice.
 
We probably also want a question to feel out what we want in our moderators, what we feel are essential qualities. I have no intention of nominating myself or accepting one. I don't have the bandwidth for it
But I would like to have the best possible mods
 
12:51 AM
@kdopen seconded
 
Talking about mods, I was thinking about nominating myself :)
 
@overactor then please consider voting to reopen meta.opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/93/…
@Zizouz212 I think you'd be a fine candidate
 
I was so tempted to self-nominate on Law just so there could be a minor helping to run it.
@Zizouz212 I second that.
 
@kdopen Ignore the “7 essential questions” blog post, it's out of date and unclear. It was posted back when Area 51-incubated sites were just starting and was never updated based on experience of actual betas. Instead, read this:

Q: The Real Essential Questions of Every Beta

AsheeshRThe blog post Seven Essential Meta Questions of Every Beta gets linked to prominently from every beta's meta. However, this blog post is somewhat inaccurate and misdirects new users. In almost every beta, the site design question, for example, gets asked and undergoes a fair bit of discussion eve...

 
Oh wow guys! Thanks!
 
12:53 AM
@kdopen I'm not 100% on the question already being open though
 
@kdopen I personally think that we should reopen a day or two before we get the sign that we go public.
 
@Zizouz212 s/before/after/
 
Air
@HDE226868 I think we played 5 innings.
 
Grr, then why do they still link to the old version on the top of every single Meta page?
 
@Air That score is incredible for a 5-inning game.
 
12:55 AM
@Gilles Sorry, I'm confused...
 
@kdopen beats me
 
@HDE226868 I completely agree! Awesome! :D
 
@Gilles any chance of getting that osi rss feed?
unless people disagree of course...
 
Just trying to follow the process and help ensure we get to public. But they still have the "start one now!" call in the "public beta" stage
 
@overactor I'm not familiar with it. How frequent are items?
 
12:56 AM
@Gilles bit more than weekly
 
@kdopen yes, a few days into the public beta is the right time
@overactor then I think it should wait a few weeks, and be handled by appointed mods
 
then I suppose get it up to "reopen(4)" and leave it there
 
@Gilles fair enough

Q: Is [license-compatibility] the same as [compatibility]

Zizouz212I was approving edits in the Suggested Edits queue while I came across this: http://opensource.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/268 I approved it due to the description, we have a new tag.

Thank you @Meta_Data :)
 
Air
1:05 AM
@HDE226868 Yeah, it was kind of unbelievable, but the sun was shining from behind home plate at an angle that hit right underneath a hat brim for the shortstop and outfielders,which might have had something to do with it. Also the pitching on both sides was awful.
Regarding the "real" 7 questions post, I think it's worth noting that the answer there is entirely the work of one user.
 
@Air Also, it's comm-wiki with 11 revisions
 
Air
So, you know, grain of salt and all. Take both that post and the original blog with a grain of salt, and apply common sense.
 
With no cm or mod attention...
 
Air
@Zizouz212 Asheesh is a mod.
 
Oh. I was just checking for diamonds...
Never Mind! There's no CM Attention! :/
 
Air
1:08 AM
There are no elected moderators on MSE. Only staff have diamonds there.
 
Yeah, that's why I revised to no cm attention
 
Air
I'm sure they've read it.
 
Trevor Clarke is posting an awful lot of questions...
 
I can talk to him about that.
 
He's asked a lot of good questions too
 
1:22 AM
He did. But yes, I feel like he should slow down a little... :/
 
yeah
sorry guys
just a bit excited
 
Don't worry. :)
 
@TrevorClarke No problem at all.
 
and thanks, I try to think of question that will lead a good example
when it becomes public
 
Don't slow down!! More questions is exactly what we need...
 
1:28 AM
@trichoplax Not necessarily.
 
@TrevorClarke You're dong better than me, I'm running out of ideas and resorting to stealing them from @trichoplax :)
 
lol
 
i went onto cc faq
but that was not
a good
 
We can't run out of questions, and each one is either on topic or helping narrow down the scope. The only thing we want to avoid is easy questions
 
1:29 AM
I think sitting on a question a bit before asking can be advisable
 
yeah
yeah i agree
 
That's a good idea.
 
Air
@trichoplax No, what you want to avoid is useless questions. Easy is fine if it's useful.

Q: Questions that only arise in an open source context

trichoplaxI'd like to see discussion following this comment: I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is more about the personal security of the user than open-source in general, although the question only tends to arise in an open-source context. (emphasis mine) How will we treat q...

 
ok lets brainstorm here
 
1:29 AM
then again, @TrevorClarke you're doing more to help the site than I am, so who am I to complain :]
 
@Meta_Data strikes again!
 
@overactor
 
@kdopen I just stole one from you too :)
 
Air
There's a world of difference between "easy for someone to answer" and "trivial for the asker to answer on their own"
 
well thanks @overactor
I try
 
1:30 AM
I think though before we start brainstorming for question, we need to figure out all the possible elements that's in our current scope.
 
Yep, easy questions are going to flood in when we go public ... they're called FAQ's. It helps to have canonical answers to point to when you "close as dupe"
 
Otherwise, we will run out
 
@trichoplax Wait, what, where? I want it back!
 
Oh btw, since so many of us are gathered here
 
ok so what is our scope
 
1:31 AM
This is what we've got so far: open source, marketing projects, organizing projects (as per area 51), copyright, creative commons, collaboration (as long as related to open source) and that's all I can find on meta
and licensing, but thats obvious
 
Now that's a good question to post on Meta
 
@kdopen I like yours - not sure why it's being downvoted. +1. I meant I stole your comment and turned it into a meta question...
 
people are going to ask how they can join up with other members in an open source project
 
@kdopen I had suggested it but people didn't want that yet
 
1:31 AM
or which project they can contribute to as beginners
can we cater to that, possibly with a cw question on meta?
 
guys hee

Q: What is the scope of Open Source?

Trevor ClarkeI would like to define what we want to ask on here. Please leave answers regarding what exactly we want to ask!

feel free to edit the question
but try to post your ideas there
 
@TrevorClarke It would be great if you can have it comm-wiki
 
Something like a list of projects run by members of os.se
 
ok i added the tag
 
I think advice on starting out would be good to have to point new users to (their question will be a duplicate of it). I'd prefer to see it on main than meta - main is where new users ask, and where they will see it in the list of similar questions
 
1:34 AM
yeah
but we cant do that it is not a question about open source=... that is what the meta is for
 
@trichoplax I see your point, i guess it being a CW question is enough to make clear it's not an example of a good question
 
@TrevorClarke Whoa my upvote was instantly cancelled
 
@TrevorClarke That's what I was thinking too
 
wait what why
 
If we're taking things literally...
 
1:37 AM
literalness is good
literality?
 
yeah
ok
 
Especially if you're an Aspie
(like me, trendsetter that I was long before there was a diagnosis)
 
who marked it for close
and please upvote
this could be useful
 
Guys, I can facilitate the moderation of the post, if we're nervous of improper use
 
yup ok
what other meta posts should we do?
 
Air
1:39 AM
@TrevorClarke I did, and presumably Gilles.
 
Air
What you are trying to do does not work and is not useful.
 
please retract it
this is useful
if done correctly
 
Air
Can you show me evidence?
 
1:43 AM
@TrevorClarke It's not a question about the site either, so I don't think it belongs more on one that the other
 
it is its about the scope of the site itself
 
Guys, if it turns out messy, we'll delete it. Right now, one of the biggest issues is the lack of clarity for the scope. I'll facilitate it, I'll make it work.
 
so please listen to @Zizouz212 and if it goes bad we can remove it instantly
 
@TrevorClarke If that was to me, I was replying to your earlier comment (the arrow on mine links back to yours)
@TrevorClarke I was talking about the other question - not the scope question
 
1:45 AM
:)
 
@Zizouz212 I'm not nervous about improper use. The problem is that it'll become messy, and then some issues will be discussed in comments somewhere and people who weren't involved will have no chance of finding them.
Each issue belongs in a separate thread.
Same thing as on the main sites.
 
@Gilles If we all moderate it we can keep it in check
 
Would that just mean starting a new thread for each suggestion?
 
Perhaps, but it will summarize. It will only hold results. You may have misunderstood, the issues won't go on that thread
 
@TrevorClarke it's not just about keeping it in check, it's also about people having a chance to find out what's being discussed
@trichoplax yes
 
1:46 AM
So is it better to not have the general question, or to have it and have someone who restarts each suggestion as a new thread?
 
It will basically summarise all the "Is [x] considered on-topic" threads that are already existing
 
i dont think so but i could be wrong
wait so lets make a post saying that @kdopen
 
And would provide the core for the "What can I ask questions about?" FAQ in the help center for this site
Well, I'm off for the night
 
Well, @kdopen That's the point. A one stop place to have a clear version of the scope.
 
1:49 AM
@trichoplax cut out the middleman, don't have a general question which will be missing some updates and will have additional discussion that won't be visible from the appropriate thread
the general question has no advantage and only downsides
@Zizouz212 But it does not give you a clear version of the scope!
 
I see your point, but do you have any other suggestions? Because right now it doesn't look clear
And I was in the process of editing it :)
 
@Zizouz212 individual threads, one per issue
how many times do I need to repeat that?
 
I'm just scared of the scope changing, and things won't be clear on that. Right now, we're getting waaay too many questions on licensing, and it needs to change.

http://c.xkcd.com/random/comic/
Like so:
Hmmm
Perhaps unsurprisingly an address with random output doesn't onebox
Works if you click on it though :)
 
Air
The point is that it's easier to remember keywords from the title or dialogue, when you want to "relevant" something
 
@Air If you solve a question half way through writing it up, self answer!

@trichoplax If you don't feel like a complete and utter idiot for not thinking of the answer earlier
 
2:15 AM
@overactor I have the advantage of feeling that way most of the time, so it doesn't bother me :)
 
Air
@trichoplax I have done, on occasion. But when I solve the problem, usually I have to continue working.
Also, sometimes the solution ends up revealing that the problem statement was a red herring, or the keywords I was searching were wrong and it's actually a dupe
 
@Air Worth the extra effort in private beta though...
@Air yeah I get that - nothing you can do then
 
Air
Unless the question it's a dupe of is really bad, then you can close it in reverse ;)
 
I'm suspicious at the number of times I've clicked on the xkcd random comic button and got the Ayn Random one

Q: What advantages and/or risks are involved in open sourcing teaching materials?

MnementhTeaching materials like textbooks or work sheets can be opened up to free redistribution and free change for everyone. What are the advantages and the risks of doing so in comparison to keeping it closed? Are there different advantages/risks for the public and the publishing instance?

@Mnementh You have three close votes marking this as 'too broad'. What can you do to make it more specific and answerable?
I think we need more questions like this that are not aimed purely at software, so it would be good to try and rescue it
 
Yeah, I specifically asked about risks/advantages, so that it hopefully isn't too broad
Thats far more specific than: How well does it work to open source teaching materials?

They should be coming, right when I convince them (that might not go so well...)

On the subject of badges ... anyone got beyond a progress of '1' for 'Curious'? Most of us must have asked upvoted questions on more than one day by now.
 
I have a progress of 3 i think...
 
And for some reason, the next recommended badge is 'Excavator' .... love to see someone get that in the near future ;)
 
On set for 4 :)
Let's excavate the core of the earth!
My recommended is excavator too :)
 
Well I'm stuck at 1, so I must be failing either the 'good question' or 'positive question record' criteria
 
2:26 PM
Oh. Normally it allows any up voted question to increment the amount.
Even if you have a bad question record.
You can be at 5 and not get the badge, because quite frankly, you're bad at asking about things :/
 
Well I have 7 upvoted questions over three days ...
And I don't think I have any closed ones
 
That's weird. I don't know what's up with that. Did you ask the questions on the same day?
 
Or maybe they mustn't have attracted any downvotes. It's hard to get a clear definition
No, something each day, I think
definitely more than one day
 
Well, I don't know. Sorry bout that. :/
 
Nobody here can earn Curious right now because the site doesn't even exist 5 days.

Q: Misleading description of new Curious badge

RaphaelThe description of the new Curious badge currently reads: Asked a good question on 5 separate days, and maintains a positive question record. The term "good question" seems to be defined by the badge Good Question: Question score of 25 or more. Curious seems to use another criterion, ...

And you should at least be showing progress

Oh I figure out that badge from this post: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/234259/asking-days-badges
Seems any downvote bars a question from counting as 'good'
I've asked questions on 3 separate days, but other than on 6/24 every question got at least one downvote
On 6/24, all questions were 'good'
 
Seriously? Thank god there's nothing like that on answers... I have at least one down vote on like 8 of the 12 answers I have. Feels kind of suspicious in a sense though.
 
"and none of your questions that day are deleted, downvoted, or closed, you get one more day of credit toward the badge"
seems one bad question a day ruins the day even if you have 10 good ones

Guys: Some Additions to Scope from Area 51:
The OSI currently provides mailing lists and email contacts for people to ask questions related to open source issues: copyright/licensing/patents, funding models, community development & management, etc.
As per what the OSI would like to promote here.
 
I think actual promotion should wait until we are in public beta
 
I agree, but I'm just looking for sort of like a status update on Meta. I know some of the CMs wanted to be in contact with the OSI
