Oh neat :) so now we have *two working models* on which to base a question improvement system. Might be useful if there's a big warning that says "please consider posting in the sandbox first" in slanted boldface capital letters in the green box at the top of the "Ask Question" page, and a radio box ...

I like the sandbox idea, on meta or anywhere else. It would be important for moderators to be able to easily move questions from Q&A into the sandbox / to meta. And many questions in a SoftDev sandbox might never re-enter Q&A, if they are duplicates that a beginner couldn't spot because he didn't loo... (more) |

@Lundin Thanks for the link. I agree with @gilles that "there’s no clear distinction between professionals and non-professionals," which makes an ad-hoc site split difficult. But, there is a clear distinction between new users who do not know what is expected of them in a given community and users wh... (more) |

It is good to know that you are aware of the possibility though. I read the answer by user4842163 on the question you linked, and if that's old news then I do not think that I have any new arguments to contribute to this conversation. If you want to spitball ideas together for how we might avoid pote... (more) |

@Alexei the fact that SO has never done this is the main reason I like to consider it ^_^' since whatever they're doing now is frustrating for both new users and moderators. (more) |

@Lundin I agree that it would be less confusing for new users if the off-limits place had a special label like "Expert," and their sandbox kept the standard "Q&A" label. As long as up-and-coming moderators have a clearly delineated set of questions over which they have license to practice their still... (more) |

A: Pros and cons of various type_traits idioms I'm new to `typetraits` and #2 made sense right away. Everything else was confusing, but I don't know a good way to avoid #4. Maybe you even need #1 sometimes. #1 : `enableif` on the return type When I saw #1 I had to spend a minute looking for the return type. And I don't mean that I had tro... (more) |

A: How will you balance demanding high quality questions with maximising the number of users? Is it a bad idea to create a newcomer-only Q&A category? Not now, but after a few years. ... or not a category but you know the tabs like "Meta" and "Code Reviews?" However those are called. Call this one "Hello, World" or "Hello, Newbie" or "Howdy, Stranger." I'm kind of attached to the "Hello" i... (more) |

How is /Volumes/KINSTON2 mounted onto your filesystem? Is it a USB stick or just a differently-formatted chunk of your hard disk or storage attached to a remotely-connected computer? ... Mostly I'm just wondering if Volumes is in the same state or nation as tier2. (more) |
