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
