@RydwolfPrograms well, about that...

Q: Experimenting with Pro Tempore elections

Last spring, I ran an election on Parenting for a new moderator pro tempore. It went pretty well, so this fall we are going to extend the program to sites that have been in "beta" for years. Here's how it works: We're reaching out to moderator teams to see if they would be interested in partici...

Turns out I may have been wrong initially claiming pt mods were appointed and not elected

@RydwolfPrograms I've gone and notified like way too many people (42 + 44 + more) to shuffle their votes

Hopefully that has some impact

Unrelated String

and your latest ping reminded me to double check if the only person i could plausibly rope into it had gotten on yet

> 6 more questions with a score of 10 or more

* screams *

Just 17 votes to go, which is like...four people

Altho actually, we need a minimum of 5 unless there's some vote redistribution to the last one

3 hours later…

Rydwolf Programs

19:47

4 and 9 :o

Lyxal you need to pursue a career in marketing

Also if you don't get made the first moderator of the site I'm not joining :p

1 hour later…

8 votes to go!

Rydwolf Programs

21:11

We should only need two people now

Since the lowest voted question we have is +8

And we have 8 votes to go, so we can even lose a few from those people to non-useful destinations

Rydwolf Programs

22:01

We are three votes away this is not a drill

I was gonna do things today but I think instead I am going to sit here and spam reload

For historical reference we have 177 followers right now, so we will likely be leaving Definition with 177-178 followers

And just over 6000 views

Looks like we've also benefited from the Swahili proposal that just started up

lyxal

@RydwolfPrograms don't tell anyone ~~but I already have my mod nomination written and ready to go :p~~

@RydwolfPrograms oh this is taking a bit of self control to not get my alt and make up the last 3 votes myself :p

Rydwolf Programs

Ikr lol

Even worse when you have like six of them

lyxal

Just shows how much of a flawed system a51 is

Rydwolf Programs

Yup. IMO definition and commitment should occur concurrently

Definition would be for deciding on the scope, and nothing else. No vote limit, just a minimum number of good (and possibly even bad) questions. Commitment, or maybe some sort of pre-commitment phase, would be for ensuring enough people are interested.

let the games begin

it's party time

Rydwolf Programs

To be totally honest I did not expect us to get this far

Unrelated String

lol

Rydwolf Programs

So, to everyone who's contributed so far...fangz 🖤

22:29

i did at the beginning but then we definitely seemed kinda screwed for the last month or so

Rydwolf Programs

So 200 committers is gonna be tough, but we got 180 followers in under three months, so I think we can do this

Unrelated String

yeah

lyxal

@RydwolfPrograms you underestimate my dedication to making this work :p

It was gonna happen one way or another

(hence the reddit post last night lol)

I'll be posting to the two subs a bit later with a call to commit

reddit.com/r/programming/comments/10uq2qr/…

I think I need to wait a bit before posting on r/programminglanguages because it hasn't even been 24 hours yet since my push for definition votes there

Unrelated String

lol

yeah

lyxal

looks like the commitment score thing won't be an issue

user

Does the rep of each committer matter?

Should we try to get more rep to be able to reach beta faster?

lyxal

23:05

11 committed

That's good speed

Unrelated String

wow

Rydwolf Programs

13% commitment score lol

We'll hit 100% for that in 48h

Also finally our graph is actually worth something

Unrelated String

lol

Rydwolf Programs

It'll be so nice having an objective that's actually displayed to us in useful ways

lyxal

Also, everyone who followed in the first phase has just gotten an email saying the site is in commitment

Not from me, but from SE

An automated thing

Unrelated String

23:08

pog

Rydwolf Programs

I'm slightly worried about the 100 people with 200+ rep thing, since most of our volume will probably be from reddit/discord/IRL friends who aren't necessarily active on SE, but we can probably manage

Unrelated String

and it shouldn't be too hard to get some of them active enough on some site to hit 200

user

Guys it looks like we're plateauing hard

We gotta get those numbers up

We hadn't had any new commits in the last minute

Rydwolf Programs

oh no I don't wanna die :'O

Unrelated String

oh shit

we're done for

lyxal

23:09

@RydwolfPrograms I'm not. I saw multiple high rep users + mods from other sites during definition

Rydwolf Programs

Fair enough yeah

lyxal

@user well it was fun while it lasted

user

@RydwolfPrograms Voter fraud time

lyxal

I'm off to go spread word on discord servers

brb

Rydwolf Programs

Okay I just noticed the most annoying thing

The background noise thing used for chat rooms has a giant white square that's visible on 4k monitors:

Rydwolf Programs

I wanna go back to 1366×768 now >:|

lyxal

Ight I'm back

@RydwolfPrograms yeah we're fine

We just got someone with 100k+ network wide

There's plenty of big rep users that'll be interested

user

@lyxal That user has a stack-based language in case you're interested

lyxal

Word has been spreadified to the cg discord

user

Esolang discord too?

lyxal

23:17

One second

Both esoservers are now aware

Rydwolf Programs

Anyone wanna bet rep on how long it'll take to hit beta

I'm gonna say 2.5 months. April 21.

Unrelated String

that sounds pretty plausible

holy shit our commitment score is already 23%

Rydwolf Programs

lmao SE once again with the perfectly functioning Area 51 features

lyxal

Area 51 is a perfectly functioning site with no flaws and no user experience issues that can potentially impact whether site proposals get enough attention and engagement

Rydwolf Programs

I like how much people of approximately the same skill level's stated experience varies

lyxal

23:34

Also, Web3 is still stuck on 45 followers while we're almost 10% into commitment

Take that crypto currencies

Rydwolf Programs

Well I logged into my old gmail account that's associated with my SE account and
