This is a compilation of Suggestions from various users. Think of it like a "wish list". These differ from feature requests in that they are projects that may require a significant amount of time to implement. A system should be developed for selecting from one, and having the community vote on which to tackle.
Suggestions can currently be added via suggestions@soylentnews.org or by typing "!suggestion [your suggestion here]" in our IRC rooms. You can also just add them below. You might check the TodoList before suggesting something to see if it is already being worked on.
Teams: feel free to draw from this list and move to a todo list if you would like to tackle one (please remove from here if you do).
- SoylentNewsRoundup or SNR (best stories, comments, best of IRC)
- Articles Revisited: by +5 commenters <- Submit story for discussion
- research, correct, expand
- re-submit to topic "revisited.soylentnews.org"
- Add a "settled arguments" section to the wiki (example: the world population is out of control!)
- Create topic/location for SoylentNews updates on main site
- RSS - enable full story (this is also logged as a bug I believe)
- Add markdown support in SoylentNews ex: http://dillinger.io/
- SoylentNews alternate logo S/N (signal/noise) (also SN = Tin atomic symbol)
- Enable Internet Archive auto-crawling (may just need to update robots.txt)
- Allow users to mod stories down.
- Form to submit bugs on SoylentNews like submitting a story (using slash)
- Pre-populate the "story" with prompts for desired info (summary, severity, error message seen, steps to reproduce, etc.)
- Add ability to easily submit journal entries to the stories queue (could just be submitted as links...)
- Host our own advertisements
- Keep them in separate areas (sidebars, boxes)
- Keep them (mostly) static
- Keep the off-site javascript requirements for them minimal
- Make submitted stories headlines into hyperlinks that go to the discussion page (feature request)
- Would it be possible to have the RSS feed either include more than the last 10 stories (I would prefer the last 100), or include a variable in the RSS URL so that the user could specify their choice (ie. like &num=100). If a variable is used, then a minimum and maximum number should be defaulted by the server.
- Banner ads that people can use as forum signatures, etc. to spread the word about SoylentNews. See this archived forum thread for more information.
