so it turns out the Law election isn't going too well

not enough voters, or something

which is a shame because the candidates are all pretty awesome

user315433

Not enough voters? Is there a minimum turnout requirement?

user315433

I thought the minimum was 1.

Shog9

22% of eligible voters have voted thus far. Doesn't seem too awful.

user315433

There are 66 voters so far, which already beats NE election #1 which had 63.

user315433

I did not find all candidates awesome

Quill

00:37

user315433

Does "they" refer to some over-enthusiastic multi-site users still in high school?

Is the Docs drama still ongoing? Or should I hop on in and grab some easy rep?

Q: Remove "If Q&A is chocolate, Documentation is peanut butter." in the documentation tour

I don't see how this analogy helps the user to understand what differentiates the Q&A from the documentation. I don't even get the analogy (maybe a cultural thing). SO is not a place to this type of analogies, specially in a feature (documentation) that has been struggling to be understood. I p...

Oh dear. I didn't see that one...

Without having looked at the recent drama (nearly any)... from the private beta I can say two things: 1) the idea is good, but 2) it didn't seem to work out too well. Quite obviously rep isn't working great in the public beta...

Seems like both sides right now are way over emphasizing the problem. It also seems like a much better use of time on both sides would be finding solutions and implementing them -- not arguing pointlessly.

And those blue dots are weird. They're just pulsating weirdly... seems like a really weird UX design.

(yes, I know they're supposed to teach me about Docs. But I was in the private beta, sooo...)

Portal

No negative-score questions on MSO's frontpage? I'm surprised...

hichris123

Ugh, I didn't realize that voting determined the order of examples on Docs. While that may work out eventually, it's not Q&A where there's a "best" answer. There should be some logical progression there...

Also, what do flags even do? Should I flag something because I'm lazy and don't want to do it on my own? Or does that annoy a mod?

Also, why are there so many buttons off to the side? It's like brain overload right there.

And people are using <kbd>s for links. Sigh. animuson needs to have a talk with those people.

I think that was enough of an intro to Docs for one day. However, from my (brief) glance, it appears that Docs retains, if not adds, more intricacies to the system than the main sites have. Why? Why must I read some weird help center page to figure out how I get full editing rights? Why must I search on meta to figure out how these things work?

If reputation is going to be added to main SO, make privileges the same. If you have 2k, you should be able to make edits without asking others to review them. It appears no one has those rights? Who knows, the help center doesn't tell me.

And with that intermission (thanks Smokey), I'm done with my comments for the day. Next time on "Docs Comments"...

Since I couldn't work with that, I had to create some "mapping" service that would process that mess and give me something I could understand (== hide all the mapping nonsense in a single place)

In the end, we had a class called "PhilosopherStone" with multiple methods that would do the conversions... Every method was a variation like "TransmutateEvilProductToProduct", "DistillateOrderFromChaoticOrder" and so on...
