Good news! — We tweaked the process a bit to avoid closing proposals soon after starting a new phase… and without adding any undue complexity.
Instead of a 2-year limit, we are now going to institute proposal limit of
1 year in Definition + 1 year in Commitment
This 1+1-year method takes care of two important scenarios — (1) You don't ...

I agree, and would suggest a more refined version:
Proposed Q&A site for non-native & native Arabic Language learners, linguists & experts to discuss finer points of the language.
اقتراح إنشاء موقع أسئلة وأجوبة يضم المتعلمين، اللغويين، والخبراء بمجالات اللغة العربية ليناقشوا ما يتعلق بهذه اللغة.

The good news is that I dug through the history and awarded you the 50 points for committing to SmugMug.
The bad news... is that I had to recalculate the rep on your profile, which basically looks over all pending vote changes (we don't automatically recalculate on Area 51 like we do on Q&A sites) and that adjusted your A51 reputation waaaay down.
So, ...

This was a problem fixed earlier this week; unfortunately Area 51 does not sync with the rest of the network. Fixed here now, too.

Since there is no Esperanto nation, it sounded a bit odd to call it "Esperanto Language." But you are correct; for consistency with the other language sites, it makes sense to have them follow the same naming convention. Done.

Yes, this site appears to be about the field of "law" and not a discussion about laws specifically. Your semantics are correct.

This should be fixed in the next build + up to an hour for the next sync process to run. Thanks for the report!

A major changes to Google Analytics infrastructure has been done which caused the issue which is status-completed now.
As answered by the developer, Dean Ward at Traffic (views, visits) isn't correctly registered on Site Analytics or Area 51:
Apologies for the slow response here in completely resolving the issue. We made major changes to our Google ...

Note: I put in a feature request to have that changed to 10 questions/day (pending dev approval) [UPDATE: The number of questions/day has been changed to 10!]. That (revised) number is based on a scatter plot of all our sites and where they seem to fall when the site becomes "rock solid" in their category.
No, that does not mean that <10 questions per ...

The formatting issues with the topbar have been fixed.

We have updated the badge to reflect proposals instead of posts.

This is marked as 'status completed' - but in my interpretation of WCAG the menu bar here is a disaster in terms of color contrast.
I think that all the grey text, especially the "Stackexchange" and reputation count, but also the marginally lighter badge counts seem to be failures on level AA of WCAG, never mind level AAA.
The situation is worse on the ...

I think just allowing the top level "questions about this proposal" to be distinct from the discuss.area51... questions would help as well. I didn't even realize they were linked until I started getting hate-notices for the way I was conducting my marketing research..... (helps to know where people are coming from so you can go back to the well.....)

I agree that it makes little sense to close a proposal that has only been in commitment phase for a few weeks. If the closing of 2-year-old proposals is supposed to be to avoid proposals that aren't viable, then something that took nearly 2 years to get to commitment phase should have been identifiable as not viable a while ago.
With that in mind, I propose ...

This has been fixed to be consistent with the rest of the network. The changes should go out during the next build.

Yes, the Area 51 home page wasn't updated when we added those changes to the rest of the network. It should be fixed now. Thanks.

@chuck-smith, nice proposition.
@robert-cartaino, according to the dictionary a language is :
Communication of thoughts and feelings through a system of arbitrary
signals, such as voice sounds, gestures, or written symbols.
Such a system including its rules for combining its components, such
as words.
Such a system as used by a nation, people, or other ...

Per your flag, I have un-deleted that post. That post was removed inadvertently when one of the linked proposals expired and the underlying discussions were cleaned up. Sorry about the confusion.

Give it a try now, you should be all set.

This is already how discussions work.
If a discussion is linked to ANY active proposal, it is NOT removed even if some of the older proposals it refers to no longer exist.
Older, but still relevant discussions can be linked to newer proposals so they are not deleted when the older proposals are removed.
Can you see a list of deleted questions in your ...

That entire sentence will be gone on Area 51 and Area 51 Discuss after the next prod build. Thanks for the report!

We won't be showing that button on this site anymore starting with the next prod build.

A fix has been deployed and stats should be updating properly now.

Good catch, thanks!
We'll remove the link to /tour in the next build.

This has been "fixed" in the sense that the link now sends people somewhere reasonable. Unfortunately, the only sensible place to point people at the moment is the FAQ.

We were able to fix it by changing the proposal name to something else, then back to "Arduino". I suspect it was originally entered with a space or some other character that wasn't stripped when the proposal was originally created. Should be fixed now.

The Civic Duty badge wasn't counting votes on deleted posts. We just relaxed the badge requirements to remove this criterion, to make it consistent with the "votes cast" on the user profile page, and with Stack Overflow's Civic Duty badge. As a result, 4 users just earned it on A51 (David, Mark Booth, Tadeusz A. Kadłubowski, and animuson).
Only top voted, non community-wiki answers of a minimum length are eligible
