Would you like, just for fun, to have easy access to all of the e2 code?
No. There's no reason for me to look at any code, ever. 26 25.74% No. Perl and/or ecore scares me. 11 10.89% No. There are things in the code best left hidden for security reasons. 5 4.95% No. There are things in the code best left hidden for jokes and April Fool's day. 6 5.94% What? edev already has access to the code. Isn't that enough? 13 12.87% Sure! I really don't see the point in making code hidden to ordinary users. 6 5.94% Sure! It would be fun to let everyone see how things work under the hood. 9 8.91% Sure! It would also be great to install a local copy of e2's code on my own computer to play with. 18 17.82% None of the above. 7 6.93% Total 101 100.00% Bad writeups get 4 XP?
by mauler
Submitting a new writeup now gets you 5 XP instead of 1 XP, but having a writeup deleted still only takes back 1 XP. Should the XP lost for having a writeup deleted be increased to 5 as well?
Yes, because people should not gain 4 XP for posting bad writeups. 32 30.77% Yes, because people will abuse the new system by purposely posting bad writeups just to gain XP. 11 10.58% No, because people should be rewarded with 4 XP just for trying, even if they fail. 19 18.27% No, because it would be unfair to older users who only got 1 XP for posting their writeups in the past. 5 4.81% I don't really care either way. 30 28.85% None of the above. 7 6.73% Total 104 100.00% Old Wives' tales

Is the E2 identity crisis over (for now)?
At minimum we should keep every standard, I wouldn't mind seeing some new ones. 6 5.45% We need to keep our standards high but we also need to encourage more noding somehow. 13 11.82% We need to keep our standards high but we also need to encourage more fun somehow. 24 21.82% More noding is the first priority, adjust the standards to whatever level encourages that. 7 6.36% More fun is the first priority, adjust the standards to whatever level encourages that. 13 11.82% Just lower the bar. It was a bad idea to begin with, noding and fun will take care of themselves. 12 10.91% Standards are not the problem, XP is (or still is). 0 0.00% Standards are not the problem, merit is. 4 3.64% Standards are not the problem, levels are. 1 0.91% Crisis?
