@martinmodrak , I figured we could start a thread with improvements for Stan discourse. We can change them if enough people think it’s a good idea. I’ll start with: Change the email subject line: “[The Stan Forums] [] Title.” I’d like to reduce “[The Stan Forums]” to “[Stan]”. (This won’t conflict…

@martinmodrak , do we follow a process to change these things?

[image] syclik: Change the email subject line: “[The Stan Forums] Title.” I’d like to reduce “[The Stan Forums]” to “[Stan]”. (This won’t conflict with github notifications which emails with “[org/repo]”) That’s a sensible point. I don’t know how many people have setup e-mail filters based o…

[image] martinmodrak: Not really. I also don’t think it would be very useful to have a highly structured process for a set of really ad-hoc considerations that vary in scope and impact. However, I think there should be the spirit of openness and consensus. So for anything that could affect the b…

[image] syclik: What I don’t know relates to how this goes forward: if there’s overwhelming support and no objections, it’s simple and it can be implemented. what happens if there’s active support and objections? Should it still be implemented? what happens if there’s no support or objections?…

Very convenient for anyone who wants to run the code or work on it…

I don’t know how it (or Discourse in general) works; I just saw it and figured it probably isn’t too complicated. A little bit of searching took me here: [image] Copy codeblock contents to clipboard 📣 Now live in core Discourse is the ability to show a copy button for codeblocks! imp…

Auto-close topics after 90 days of inactivity. The lack of activity indicates that discussion has run its course. Closing the topic prompts users to create a new topic if they have something new to say. It’s also a gentle nudge, prompting users to look for more recent information. (Typically the in…

[image] nhuurre: I don’t know how it (or Discourse in general) works; I just saw it and figured it probably isn’t too complicated. This is awesome. Happy to update the settings… that was definitely enough for me to track down the option. Do we just change it?

@martinmodrak, do you think it’s ok to move forward with shortening the email subject line?
