In other news: Winterbash 2017 is coming on the 13th December. If you're in, you don't need to do anything. If you want to opt-out, an option will be available for you at the appropriate time called 'I hate hats'. If you think the site should opt out entirely, you can make the case on meta. Enjoy!

A: How do weekly topic challenges work?

I'll echo the thanks for the idea and the short guide how to go about topic challenges. Starting tomorrow, January 24th , the newest public beta of the Stack Exchange Network, the Internet of Things beta joins the fray of sites adapting this idea. Our topic challenges will run two weeks each and...

I think Robert is busy in identifying the potential moderators for this site or he is in a dilemma whether to choose from @Helmar @Ghanima @anonymous2 or just create two more Aurora's (@Aurora0001) : Aurora0002, Aurora0003

Lemme preface this by apologizing for having signed up but not lived up to the commitment contribution wise. That doesn't mean I don't think the site is a bad idea. Anyway: I like "Q&A site for everyday objects embedded with electronics to be sensed, monitored, and controlled remotely" but I think "everyday" could be ditched. Does that seem like too minor a point?

There are even reasons to have sock puppets. To find out what the site looks like with less reputation, to provide screenshots that don't provide high-rep or moderator information, et cetera...

Q: The Real Essential Questions of Every Beta

The 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.
