| Jul 6, 2017 at 13:32 | comment | added | Jaydles StaffMod | @edwinksl, yeah, this post is probably pretty stale. Lemme have someone who's actually in the loop on this take a look and update this! | |
| Jul 1, 2017 at 17:58 | comment | added | edwinksl | @Jaydles Any updates on this experiment? | |
| Jun 16, 2015 at 11:00 | comment | added | nhahtdh | @Jaydles: Some of the links to edx are still accessible, while some are not, which is quite weird. These for examples: edx-cs169-1x.stackexchange.com/questions/458/… edx-cs169-1x.stackexchange.com/questions/240/… | |
| Jun 11, 2015 at 21:35 | comment | added | user152859 | Thanks, think it's time to update the answer as well to reflect the current status of the sites? | |
| Jun 11, 2015 at 18:25 | comment | added | Jaydles StaffMod | @ShadowWizard, that class was essentially time-limited, and they stopped using it, so we gave them a heads-up and shut it down. The other one remains active, so we're not makin' any changes there for now. | |
| Jun 8, 2015 at 22:13 | comment | added | user152859 | @Home oh my... poor site. Jaydles - any official announcement about the demise of the site? :) | |
| Jun 8, 2015 at 22:11 | comment | added | user259867 | @ShadowWizard Not sure if "progress", but one of two sites (edx-cs169-1x.stackexchange.com) no longer exists. | |
| Dec 20, 2014 at 18:47 | comment | added | yo' | @LegoStormtroopr Not quite. As an example, ask.sagemath.org (Q&A site but not SE) still allows confirmed bugs as questions, which is usually answered by someone who patches the bug or provides a workaround. It's a way how to allow general users not aware of the trac to file bugs. It works fine, as long as the site is not too large. | |
| Dec 7, 2014 at 18:30 | comment | added | user152859 | Nice, I guess... will it ever become part of Stack Exchange, i.e. listed among the other sites? | |
| Dec 7, 2014 at 17:42 | comment | added | Jaydles StaffMod | @shadow, honestly? Not a ton. It's a bit of a weird fit in a few ways, but so far, they've found it to be a better solution than other things they've tried, so we continue to be interested in helping. I guess it's now a "medium-term" experiment. :) | |
| Dec 7, 2014 at 15:16 | comment | added | user152859 | Just curious, was there any progress in the half year that passed? | |
| May 9, 2014 at 12:32 | comment | added | Jaydles StaffMod | @timstone, I don't think you're off base - half of what they're doing benefits from ordered answers (us) and the other half would probably work better with the way discourse has finally (to my view) found the chrono/threaded goldilocks solution. But TWO engines wouldn't make a ton of sense. If SE doesn't work for them discourse seems the obvious next one to try. | |
| May 8, 2014 at 21:18 | comment | added | user226333 | @Illmari That's a classic solution to an XY problem. The "problem" is how to hide beta sites that are using Stack Exchange as a forum. The solution is stop using it as a forum and use a more applicable platform... Or train the user's in what a Q&A site is actually meant to do. | |
| May 8, 2014 at 16:03 | comment | added | Jaydles StaffMod | @IlmariKaronen, I agree. We'd planned to that, actually for the test, but it proved more complex than anticipated. | |
| May 8, 2014 at 15:49 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | It would probably help if these sites were hidden from places like the site switcher drop-down (at least for users who don't have an account on those sites), and if the design was tweaked somehow to make it clearer to random SE users who stumble upon them that they're not really normal SE beta sites. | |

| May 8, 2014 at 13:17 | comment | added | Tim Stone | "back-and-forth discussion" - They should probably totally drop that and use Discourse. :P | |
