Random concern I have: People are asking a lot of questions (I know, I have yet to ask a single one).

85 questions in ~48 hours is a lot. A lot a lot.

I'm not saying we should all stop asking questions, but if you have five or six or seven or more questions, it might be worth spreading them out.

We will see a drop by this time tomorrow, I think. That lower level will be maintained throughout the duration of private beta - I've seen it happen a few times already, and it's bad - and things will get a bit boring.

It's not as if the site's going to die because of this - hey, we still have ~25% of questions still waiting to be answered - but it's not good to ask everything at once.

Just a thought. Any feedback?

I'll be posting several of these status checks, which will basically just give us an idea of where our Area 51 stats are, and where they need to be for us to reach public beta and beyond. Note: I know we've only been in private beta for 1 day, but I thought it would be helpful for anyone who has...

I haven't been posting on main site at all ;-;

I should probably do that

@fi12 I suggest you create a private-beta style tag for these questions

Q: Is “Language Learning” the best name for this site?

So far (after 1 day of private beta) this site seems to have attracted mostly people who learn languages as a hobby. That's visible in the nature of questions and answers. It's also visible in the commitment statistics — only 15% self-declared as professional or academic. That's ok, but it does ...
