It would be nice to have a "Tips" section, kind of useful stuff for developers. That way, it may reduce posting stuff as "Article". I don't know if you would have any concerns with that.

I remember Paul Watson discussing how he was going to write a quick script that would allow quick snippets to be posted. It's an excellent idea.

Would it be possible to add the article date to the listing of articles found when searching. I often use this approach to search for articles by a specific author and, in some cases, it would be good to order them newest to oldest, particularly when I'm trying to identify which article has a link to the newest version of a utility library that an author might share across a number of their postings.
Does that make sense?

could we put a XML/XSL forum link on the home page?
it took me forever (well, about 5 minutes) to find the forum,, but i almost left the site!

i finally found the forum by doing just that,
xml is such an important topic, don't you think it should have a higher profile? it would get more traffic that way...

Yep - I have a semi-working version done but we've since done some replaning on what we want to offer, so something simple has turned into something un-simple so much of the initial work is being replanned (or should I just say 'planned' and be truthful about it) and rewritten.
You have no idea how keen I am to move forward on this...

You have no idea how keen I am to see the ASP.NET version!
I've been waiting for it since you said there will be one....
But what about this: Let us members have a preview look at it... only inlogged members has access to the link that take us to the ASP.NET version, and to see it you also have to be inlogged?!
So, then we all here on CP can BETA test it!
Come un now Chris! I now your're in a "replanned" state with the ASP.NET version but... PLEASE!

Programming is great. First they pay you to introduce bugs into software. Then they pay you to remove them again.

We're currently reworking not just how we are rewriting the site, but the entire way in which we'll be approaching development. I hate to say it but it looks like we're getting organised.

Any chance you'll be documenting these "adventures" so that we can read all about it in a series of articles. I'm always interested to read about these kind of endeavours.

But from an end-users viewpoint, what difference does it make how it's implemented?
I'm in the process of re-writing my site using ASP.NET and C#. Not because it's the sexy, new thing, but because the usability and design of the existing site was in need of a major overhaul.
ASP.NET just happens to be the right tool for this job.
However, rewriting a site to use ASP.NET or anything else -- "just because" -- doesn't seem very smart.
Don't get me wrong. Sure, I'd love a new site in ASP.NET... if it meant new functionality that Chris could implement much quicker because .NET makes it easy for him do so.

Please, forbid an author to rate his own articles. I suspect there are authors who after posting their article are in hurry to rate it by 5 points. (A great number of new articles are rated by just one person and suprisingly, the rating is 5.)

Unsure about it. It has happen to my 3 latest articles, while I have never self-voted.
And I swallow a small raisin.

I frankly believe there are authors who never self-vote and I'm sure you are the one of them, but with the same breath I believe there are self-voters too. It's a statistics what makes me that sure. My suggestion just prevents such a behaviour, even though I understand that. CP seems to be a quite prestigious site

Most often individual votes are outweighted by high profiles voters, as said Ch.M. in another thread.

Well, sure but there are many dev sites out there, and most of them have included interactive stuff such like voting.
What CP needs most for the time being is IMHO not a better rating, but a more efficient browsing (like comparing Google search to an older generation search engine). This is now almost impossible to get an article on purpose. See for yourself : do a search with "SaveAs".
And I swallow a small raisin.
