The 2-3 limit is because I remember some of the answers had a lot of images + some were high res leading to excessive load times on an already image heavy page. (Not everybody has broadband speeds and it gets annoying pretty fast).

Other than that, a few things that should definitely be changed IMO:
- Project Code should be freely available online
- Basic Project Circuit Diagram should be also be required
- Limit the number of images *shown* per answer to 2-3 and/or maybe require a YouTube video showing demo

@AnnonomusPenguin That will need some thought. I was thinking of making the contest emphasize more on 1) projects having potential for some kind of local-social-environmental impact or/and 2) are innovative solutions in some form. Its difficult to say what to expect, but given the growing maturity of the site and growing community, I think it can be pulled off. Just to be clear, I don't mean excluding certain projects, just to maybe encourage more useful (beyond one person) projects.

@AnnonomusPenguin Sure. It was relatively popular last year. We got external attention and support from SE. It would make sense to keep it going annually at the very least. But then again, I am not in touch with things on the site at present so you'll be a better judge of this.

AsheeshR

@AnnonomusPenguin I have been pretty busy with stuff. Haven't been active on SE for quite a while now.

Hey @AnnonomusPenguin . How are you doing? I was wondering if there are any plans for Arduino Day this year? Site traffic looks great so whatever is done will probably end up being bigger than last time.

@deadbeef Yes. Yes. R/W cycles are limited though. 100,000 only.

@hithwen Hello. Its great that the experience turned out to be a learning one for all involved. We are still growing and every effort helps take us forward, so great that you're sharing :)

@AnnonomusPerson What prompted that?

@TheGuywithTheHat I wouldn't disregard that, though.

@Quincunx Quick question: When does a code-golf end? Is there a set duration?

@Doorknob I wasn't wrong then :) How old is @hichris123?

May 14, 2014 16:11

@Doorknob plan .. not really. Would I mind? Not at all :) The early stages of a site make for the most rewarding part of moderation.

@Doorknob Stepped down. Last week.

@rolfl First day of private beta is usually 30-50 questions. So, not a good idea.

No offense to anyone :)

Its like someone let kids into the room.. with diamonds :P

It should be added as a ticker, not chat messages. @Doorknob Mind changing?

AsheeshR

May 14, 2014 12:41

Who thought it was a good idea to add the main question feed into the chatroom on the FIRST DAY? :P

First day, not many questions. Not too good.

I recently installed Debian 7 with GNOME and XFCE. I am getting a 6-7 second faster boot with XFCE than with GNOME. 49 sec vs 42-43 seconds. Is this normal/expected?

@strugee I meant that this is too simple to be really worth a question.

AsheeshR

May 1, 2014 02:26

@strugee This should be very basic stuff. I am not sure because I don't deal with this a lot.

AsheeshR

May 1, 2014 02:25

The second is the processor information, I think. What is the first section?

AsheeshR

May 1, 2014 02:25

The two portions of the output are showing different information.
