Cool new gamified feature on Sefaria: sefaria.org/translation-requests You can request for something to be translated, and it'll get added to a list, ordered by number of requests. People who pick off the list and translate get entries into a weekly raffle.

@IsaacMoses What do the cross-outs mean?

@Yishai Done

Each week, they select a bunch to be "featured" and count for more points. Those stay on the list, crossed-out, when done, until the next week. The rest just drop off the list when done.

... it seems to me

@IsaacMoses I guess done and approved? Because the non-crossed out one has a translation.

@Yishai I don't know what's up with that. I noticed one or two non-featured ones on the list that have translations, too. Probably a glitch. The one featured one I translated was immediately crossed out.

1 hour later…

@HodofHod courtesy ping (I just plugged one of your scripts on MSE):

A: Automatic tag suggestions

The SE Tag Suggestions userscript from here, written by @HodofHod, does this. It adds a "suggest tags" link below the tag textbox, with options to suggest based on your tags (what do you tend to ask about) or based on similar questions. I've found that it does a pretty good job on the sites I u...

@Monica, Thanks! I didn't realize anyone was actually using that one!

@HodofHod I am! Though I thought it suggested tags automatically below the tags textbox, so either that was an earlier version or I'm confusing it with something else. (I didn't have anything like this installed here at work, but I have this at home.)

I honestly haven't looked at it in so long, I'm not sure myself /palm -> face

:-) Well, just wanted to give you a heads-up that your scripts page might be getting a few eyeballs. Some are obviously MY-specific, but you have one there for chat mods too and I didn't say anything at all about that.

Hmm, maybe I should unfreeze your room, just in case.

Done.

Thanks. I really wish Github had a way to see what kind of visibility a repo is getting.

Yeah, it would be so 1990s to add a visit-counter to your page manually (if you even can).

@MonicaCellio I got much edification from the one I had on MY 1.0 :)

Double AA

@HodofHod Seeing your github avatar brought back memories.

@IsaacMoses oh, I didn't know you had one. Though I signed up with SE to commit to Mi Yodeya (2.0), I somehow missed that there was an actual, live site at the time that I could start participating on immediately. So I never saw it. Oops. :-(

@DoubleAA same here.
