This week's topic challenge is book division. You're encouraged to think of and post good questions on this topic.
Topic Proposal
I propose book division as a topic. Questions about dividing books into sections, chapters, parashiyos, aliyos, verses, paragraphs, pages, etc. I suspect there ca...
@ShmuelBrin It's the challenge that's out of date, not the calendar entry. chalk it up to Pesach vacation
When someone volunteers to become the fo-to person for the Parasha chat, I'll be happy to create a community event weekly, per that person's specification.
@IsaacMoses Well, I'll be out of town this week, so not much work will be done. When I get back next week I want to present the community the logo, and some site design concepts
if no major design changes from the community, then we'll start the CSS conversion.
So I'm estimating either the first or second week of May
We typically launch/graduate sites on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
so I'm aiming for 5/8 or 5/9 to be more realistic.
@Jin Here's my big idea for graduation: Online Launch Party including: Live chat, maybe even with an audio component; "ribbon cutting" in which someone (you?) counts down and then flips the conversion switch, and everyone F5s, oohs, and aahs; and a panel discussion including maybe someone from the site, a web-savvy rabbi, and Joel on something like the role of online fora in Torah study
@HodofHod I didn't know that. interesting! There's a Chinese calendar too, but modern people don't use it anymore, except for the Chinese New Year date.
Anyway, I think it'd be a good idea to think about the other Jewish community sites you participate in, and how we can tell them about our site's graduation
and when the time comes, I'd be glad to create banner graphics etc if you need me to.
Right now the sefirat-ha-omer tag is used for both the mitzva deorayta of counting the Omer, as well as the unrelated period of mourning that happens to coincide with these days. The two are (at least on a peshat level) completely unrelated. Perhaps they should be differentiated?
When asking questions I usually take some reasonable guesses on tagging and then, most of the time, somebody comes along and adds tags that I didn't know existed. Part of this, at least for me, is that we have a lot of tags -- more than twice as many as the most "mature" site I participate on, E...

I've noticed that a new "Community Bulletin" box is being rolled out network-wide:
Can someone describe this new feature?
