Maybe it would be best to move this room over, and treat it as the general chat room. Using my homesite as an example, it would be similar to this. The new room we could use as a jury duty/cleanup room, like this one (sortof).
@Ash @anorton I would be against moving the room. Firstly, I can't do it myself (looks like I can only move rooms on my parent site)
Secondly, betas rarely need more than one chat room. It's hard enough to keep a single chat room active
For a few weeks you'll have a lively chat and it will die down
Which means that the main Arduino room will go kaput. (hell, we still have a single active room on Physics. I'd once made a room for discussing closes and all, but it was unneccesary)
Both ways, the theme will change to the beta theme
If I punt over the messages, it's not much effort. Permalinks are preserved, and the only difference is that there will be little arrows next to all the messages
no biggie
Also, this isn't that major an issue, so we really don't need to discuss it too much :P It's no biggie if we don't do it at all either ;)
@Manishearth The commitment score will be troublesome there, seeing thats its been in commitment for a year.
I think the India proposal should be pushed. Its not in too good shape, but that can be improved.
Religion based proposals seem a little controversial. See Islam, not exactly in very good shape. You have singular views being pushed, others deleted, downvoted. They had some meta posts about it, which IIRC, also spiralled
I participate as well, and have been chiming in on some of the metas (specially Islam meta, Christianity and Judaism and BH settled a long time ago and Islam is relatively new) and I join the mod discussions
@AshRj how?
The only reason that the proposal was created was "the individual proposals are too slow to reach commitment at a good speed"
I thought I saw someone saying something about how if a proposal encroaches on another's charter, the proposal could be shut down. I guess I'm imagining things... :)
Eh. They could be still be useful, but maybe should be in the new room. We don't want our beta site becoming like robotics where there's hardly 2 questions a day, and just a couple users. The planning and review meetings could help keep the site active.
