@S007, Dvij question would be on topic on the new site in my opinion

@heather, my favourite image is the blackboard one

I don't like the one with the kid in it

Makes it seem like a site for children

@Heather, do you have any ideas of what the domain name should be?

I'd like to think this up soon and then I will design a logo and font for the new domain name

@S007, no you have to be creative

the list of available domains is infinite

it's a matter of coming up with one and checking if it is taken

Any domain name that isn't already owned is cheap

but sometimes brokers buy and hoard a domain

for instance, go to www.physicsdojo.com

nothing happens, that means it's cheap

go to www.physicsproblems.com it takes you to a broker, that means it's expensive

the extension will be .com most likely

but it can be antyihng

I prefer .com

physicsproblemsqa might be good

but keep the ideas ocming

no I didn't

@S007, I think you are being too harsh on new users

it is his first question ever

Before we have rigid rules, we need to build a community

this isn't a dictatorship and I won't close the question based on one meta post

@S007, we need a balanced approach

with your approach i see the site not being a site at all

with 0 users and lots of closed questions and former users

We need a balanced approach

that balances welcoming and encouraging new users

with quality

this question was reasonable quality

yes he didn't show his work, but I think at this early stage we can be less strict

and tighten the reins as we improve and develop a community

@S007, I don't think giving half solutions and hints is a good format for q and a

the Q and A format is designed to give full solutions

but I agree with your vision of the site

@S007, I just think the user may not return if we don't at least give

I think it is a give and take exercise

we give a bit

and then when he relies on the site more, then we ask more of him in terms of him showing his work

do you understand?

it is about giving alot of grace to new users

and nurture them into the right way of doing things

if he posts another question, I will say this time we require working out

but i'm not going to crack down on him on his first question

I will give him a positive happy experience by providng the answer

so he will come back, and then we up our standards

how d you feel about this approach?

@S007, I agree

I have edited the question to show what effort should be

I just think when there are so few example questions at the moment, the new users will have difficulty knowing what to do

I have thus edited the question

it now demonstrates effor

@S007, google Physics Problems Q&A

cool

The new url has been created

physics.qandaexchange.com

Both links however still work but the new link is more attractive

I have question. I have a state equation of the form AN^3+BN^2+CN+D=0. Where A,B,C,D depend on things like chemical potential, and other physical parameters(k,w). I know that this system has a critical point for values of k,w where N has a double degenerate solution, and then it bifurcates in two branches in (k,w) space. How would I go about finding the critical point?

@S007, I added four questions with appropriate attribution, is that good?

Also updated construction list with some new stuff.

@S007, okay, I will go back through. However, please just keep in mind that I don't know myself how to solve some of these problems, I don't even know calculus though I'm teaching it to myself. So I will try.

And yeah, I can post at least a question per day, and I'll keep searching for technical errors, and also maybe find some background/font type things.

@S007, of course. I'm also a bit busy with school, but I will also try my best =) in a moment I'll have something to show you in terms of site design, one moment

sorry, my computer's being finicky downloading it, just one more moment

there we go

so, I haven't designed the main part, with the questions and everything, but that background and font...

what do you think?

@S007, it is probably really bad, so I apologize =P

1) hmm, yes, good point

2) I don't know

I can fix 1), am also working on the center part, give me say 5 min and I should have a fresh draft =)

2) Yes, I agree

Okay, brb

@S007, obviously, it isn't done yet, I have some more elements to add, but here's the next draft, I'll be back in a minute, tell me what you think =)

@S007 I always figured "Physics" was just a shorthand for the site in contexts where it's clear we're talking about this site rather than, say, the subject or an academic department. I consider the full name of the site to be "Physics Stack Exchange". Maybe SE has their own idea of the full name, too.
