Good suggestions. Thanks for you insights, and I hope Mr. Maunder has this up and running soon.

How would you handle contributed code?
Would the original author be required to validate/okay contributions?
The current project "lead" should be able to surrender his lead status and allow someone else to take the lead spot.
Should membership status somehow dictate who can be lead and who can't?
Should the article wizard have a new checkbox labeled "Make this a project"?
Should projects be worth more (or less) than articles in terms of reputation points?
Should project leads be awarded more points for being the lead?
Should contributors receive points for contributing?
Should the project lead be able to determine the value of a contribution (1-5), and the site award points accordingly? This would prevent someone from merely making a spelling corrcection from earning as many points as someone that fixes a bug or adds a feature.
Should contributers be limited to silver or higher? (maybe according to the combined/averaged "authority", "author", and "organizer" reputation scores).45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

If I'm not mistaken that status display is still calculated with the old system.
I'm sure it will be changed to the new system soon enough 
|
|
|
|
|
What was the old system?
If you have details. please provide that to me.
|
|
|
|

don't remember the exact numbers but your message count isn't enough to get to silver under the old system. Hence the 'none' status.
Don't worry to much about it the CP team will get it updated soon enough.

so it is this today, not yesterday's; minor slip of plan 
suggestions:
1. apply background colors to color names in the FAQ's table explaining the statuses.
2. make that table a lot smaller and more readable, by using a simple matrix:
rows: author, authority, ...
columns: bronze, silver, gold, platinum (with background color)
cell content: points needed
3. put actual numbers under the (colored) statuses on the Who's Who page.
4. support sorting on each of the rep numbers (author, ..., total) on the Who's Who page.
PS: oh no, all rep gone again...

Thanks for rep numbers on personal page. Much better.
Two minor suggestions:
- you could still fit all seven of them on one line
- I would prefer alphabetical order here too (Debator is off, as it was for a while in the rep graph legend)

Good catch Dave.
What do you think of the FAQs?Thanks,

I haven't read them in depth - just a speed read so far but you seem to have covered all bases.
I'll be sad to see the closure of the programming forums as I find them easier to navigate than QAs and I enjoy the discussions that evolve around the question's subject or implementation of a suggested solution which doesn't seem to happen in QAs. I'm sure I'll get used to it though - it certainly looks prettier and more modern!
OT - any idea when the MVP certificates are being sent out? There's a blank space on my wall waiting to proudly receive it  Dave

If there're FAQs other than the message board FAQ I think they're very well hidden.  3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

Here[^] is one, the other's are linked at the bottom.
Get your point though - I found them in the Latest Articles list yesterday and just assumed they are posted somewhere prominent.Dave
