Differences between versions

Is the poll Features to bring back in new crabgrass version an “official” poll launched by devs ?

The poll is fairly official.

Featured pages were useful : do you plan to keep them?

I think we’ll bring back a similar functionality like featured pages at some point. Not necessarily a priority now though.1

Will ‘Surveys’ come back?

the type of vote where you can create fixed answers to one or more questions
‘Surveys’ will come back in a slightly different form. We probably want to reduce the complexity a lot.1

Where is the chat room?

We found that writing a usable and secure chat application is hard and not something we can just add on top of crabgrass.1
