@yoel I know of no fuller info than what's there. You might also want to read meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/95937, though.

@yoel In any event, the suggestion you continue in chat is just that: a suggestion, which you can definitely ignore.

@msh210 I guess what I really meant was, due to the propensity of any Halachic discussion to lead to very extended discourse, no matter how cut and dry the question might appear to be, should we consider doing it differently than other SEs?

msh210

@yoel We can consider it and, if we want it, we can request it from the site developers. Why don't you start a question on meta (meta.judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/ask)?

@yoel I'm afraid I have to go. (Shame, as there are so many people here now, and an even bigger shame, as I'm talking with one of them. But I must.) Anything else before I go, which you need to ask specifically me?

yoel

@msh210 Nah. I'll be around on here in general in the future - reddit's not doing it for bitul zman these days :)

msh210

:-) Good night, yoel, all.

@yoel I'm MOE37x3 on reddit. You?

@IsaacMoses junjk

my bitul zman comment was fairly tongue in cheek - it seems to me that anything regarding judaism.se is at least not bitul zman davka and probably not bitul Torah in the first place... that might be a question, actually... for meta or for regular j.se, i wonder?

Q: is mi yodeya helpful

does anyone here feel that this site is helpful i do but is it bittle torah because yoou could always go look up the answer in a safer and get more schar.

@yoel The question belongs on Jewish Life and Learning with the meta tag, since it's about the site and also about learning.

@IsaacMoses I can't imagine it not being an exact duplicate of the one you linked to, and your answer is the right one imo

Stack Overflow Blog: Welcome [Valued Associates That Make Up] CHAOS!

Posted by Alex Miller on September 15th, 2011

For the past couple months, we’ve had a new team starting up out of our NY office, CHAOS (or if you’re not into that whole brevity thing: Cheerful Helpful Advocates of Stack Exchange). You’ve probably seen them around some of the sites or run into them in one of the chat rooms – but here’s your official introduction:

CHAOS works directly with Joel and me to come up with, and execute on, new ways to promote all of the new SE sites and bring in new users. Looking at the original job posting we put up, you can get a bit of a feel for what they’ll be doing: …

Q: What happened to Lo.yodeya.com?

Based on http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/468?m=1934355#1934355 Is http://lo.yodeya.com/ still connected to judaism.se? If yes, why is it not used?

We've had a few questions about _en isur chal al isur_. I think it's worth a tag. I'm not sure whether it should be a specific `isur-chal-al-isur` tag or a more general `chalos-isur` tag, or how either one of those should actually be named. What do y'all think (about whether we should have one at all, and which)?

And are there any existing questions that might fit into a more general tag than `isur-chal-al-isur`?

Tal Fishman

I don't see the need for a tag on such a narrow category of questions, even if it has been popular lately.

msh210

@TalFishman Well, we have dina-dmaclchuta-dina tag (and I think rightfully so). It's the kind of thing one might look for, and how would he find it?

Tal Fishman

@msh210 I'm just not a fan of tag proliferation, and so I'm not sure I'd be super supportive of the dina-dmalchuta-dina tag, either.

msh210

Hm, no, we don't have a dina-dmaclhuta-dina tag. My mistake. :-)

But if there is a useful, interesting concept broad enough that it won't be mentioned by name in questions about it, yet narrow enough that it doesn't apply to a huge number of questions, and there are questions about it, then I think it's probably appropriate to have as a tag. You're probably right that isur-chal-al-isur is not such, but some sort of "when or under what circumstances does an isur take effect" tag is.

@msh210: Thanks for the link to the Pirush Hamishnayot, I've been looking for a readable Pirush Hamishnayot of the Rambam for a while now: judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/10023/…

Q: Use our blog to share content from our users' own blogs?

(This started in comments on this question.) We have the ability to associate a blog with this site, but the big question with blogs is always content. Would it be worth seeding a blog with stuff that J.SE users are already posting to their own blogs? With cross-links in both directions it seem...
