We all know the site is graduating soon and one nice thing to do before we are fully graduated is to clean up the tags on the main site. We have almost 300 tags and tags are very important to organizing questions asked and making sure people who are interested in a topic can find questions and an...

@Dom Sounds like a brilliant idea. Best way is to create a meta post that everyone can add an post to with tags they think need cleaning (dupes, mistakes, unneeded, blacklisting etc) and high rep folks and mods can then get quick agreement on them and clean them up

@MeaningfulUsername Yes - well over 80% of all hits are from google. I think search engine hit percentages is one of the criteria used to measure a site's success

Open question for whoever sees this: now that graduation is planned, should we re-run the site rename poll? I think we should, as the original question was started just after we entered beta, and the second place answer was created almost three years later. Also, the current users are probably different from who they were three years ago.

@ValentinGrégoire I don't know the mixcraft. I'm a guitarist - and I only really know the Korg products because I built a Mini-Kaoss pad into one of my guitars (yes - I went to see Muse and was impressed...)

@RoryAlsop, I totally understand that the question is not well presented, and that it looks more like I am looking for buying advice. In a way I must admit I really am looking for that. I just couldn't find anything on my own so I posted my question here in high hopes :).

To some extent, I agree. But even in the absence of "actual decisions", we do usually tease-out the essential issues. Like when Johnsrude was **" ** spamming **" **. We muddled through. :)

(In the case of the Monotron, a semitone shift is really just a slight finger twist, no more than the motion you need for vibrato on cello or guitar.)

hah, it was funny because the example pages didn't use variables so I didn't know they existed, and tried to use anchor codes in the URL instead. xD

Playing the bass is especially helpful because of its role in harmony, and because of the way patterns work out on the fretboard.

There are four questions with eleven votes. If anyone has voted on them, you can remove a vote to leave them at ten and use that vote on one of the sub-ten ones

In other news - I have been comparing our stats with various other sites in beta, and we are in a very good place right now. If there is a queue for graduation, we must be pretty close to the front, based on our statistics and growth curve.

@ReinaldyRafli I think everyone on SD is confused too. I am for sure. I've been away for a couple of weeks so I haven't been able to participate on meta but I'll bring it up.

It is related in that we will be able to migrate a lot of questions instead of closing them.

Rory Alsop

Jun 2, 2014 14:27

@Dom I would hope so. It means you can have the two sites almost acting as a cohesive pair - fan questions go one way, musician questions the other way. Probably improve our membership retention and get a range of questions we may otherwise miss

@NReilingh Besides that, I think in general we need a stronger community. If the community is strong and united I think it will be clear the site should get out of beta.

Dom

May 17, 2014 01:53

@NReilingh In reference to your answer yesterday on the jTab suggesting you said "It sucks, but the learning curve of our code blocks for new users is not the thing that's keeping us from graduating.". Can you give us some insight on what is keeping us from graduating? I have an idea, but I'm sure you have much better understanding of the topic then I do.

^ Typo it should 27 more questions with a vote of 10 instead of 27 more questions.

Dom

May 13, 2014 12:49

To anyone who is interested the Music Fan SE proposal has been gaining a lot of traction recently. It currently needs 27 more questions to move on to the committed phase. I personally think it will be a good sister site to this one if it makes it to beta. area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/61574/…

I just passed Dr. Mayhem and I'm the third-highest-ranking user on Musical Practice & Performance. I have no idea how that happened! Probably all that free time from long-term unemployment. I need to get me a job. Maybe Musical Practice & Performance is telling me it's time to become a music professor.

Q: Community Goal: 5 QPD by end of the year

We're below 2 QPD. I don't want to see this site closed. My goal is to raise the QPD stat to 5 by Dec 31, 2012. When this site first got out of Private Beta, everyone involved got an email saying : Tell all your friends, blog about it, tweet about it, and write the URL (http://history.stackex...

Although I strongly agree with you that, more than those other tags, this does often require expert knowledge (or at least a lot of experience).

Blog - Stack Exchange: The New Stack Exchange Beta Theme

Robert Cartaino on March 06, 2012

I wanted to give you a quick look at the new Stack Exchange Beta theme. Yes, we are retiring the familiar “Sketchy” theme and rolling out a more-polished and finished design for the beta sites.

Raise the curtain, cue the trumpet fanfare…

Alas, poor Sketchy…

Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be rolling out the new Stack Exchange Beta theme to all the sites still in beta.

At first glance, the new beta theme looks like an unembellished version of any graduated site: Finished, but without any particular “beta” theme, per se. But that’s sort of the point. …

Stack Overflow Blog: Stack Exchange’s Greatest Hits

Posted by Jeff Atwood on February 24th, 2012

We have a lot of Q&A sites in the Stack Exchange network now. 84 at the current moment. That’s … a lot of Q&A sites. But most people* don’t find us by browsing the site directory; they find us by encountering a Stack Exchange page in their web search results.

So that may lead you to wonder: what are the most freqently found questions on a given Stack Exchange Q&A site? In other words, the “Greatest Hits” of that particular topic.

(Trivia: did you know that the Eagles’ Greatest Hits doesn’t include their most famous song?) …
