Community Health Check - Seeing What People Are Thinking

from the prevention-goes-a-long-way dept.

So, every once in awhile, if things have been quiet, I like to pop a post seeing what the general feelings of the community are towards the site, seeing what we could do better, etc. I think its been a few months since the last time I posted in Meta, so I think this is a good time to get a pulse on the community, and provide a venue to get any feedback (good or bad).

On the staff side, I know things have been relatively quiet over the summer due to most of us being busy with life and such, which is why we haven't made a major site upgrade since the original rehash upgrade at the end of May. For myself, I've been working at a new job, and dealing with a fair bit of non-Soylent related things to the point that I really only have the time or energy to post, and occasional check in, and I'd like to thank the rest of the staff, and mrcoolbp in particular for holding down the fort for me.

Anyway, in contrast to my usual posts, I'm going to cut this off here, and will be looking forward to your comments below.

    I just checked my preferences to enable polls or something, when I noticed an odd problem.

    Why is there no option to set the date/time format to ISO 8601? (2015-11-16T22:23:48+00:00 or at least 2015-11-16 22:23:48) SN is still a tech site, yes? The closest option right now is 2015.11.16 22:23, with regard to which, see https://xkcd.com/1179/ [xkcd.com]

    The only issue I have with the ISO format is the stupid fucking T in the middle. It makes the entire string unreadable - who came up with that shit?

      ISO 8601 covers other representations, where the use of T is needed to denote the time component. The wikipedia article is informative on the various ISO 8601 formats: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 [wikipedia.org]

      Yay! That's been bugging me since the site before this one.
