2012-03-22 04:31:19 -0500 answered a question Asking for feedback about new skin.

Thank you for this great software.

I noticed this software just today. I am a user of Osqa. I have a few community sites on top of it. But I think, I will gradually convert to Askbot from now on.

I have a few suggestions about the default skin:

  • The top bar and search bar are very dense. More whitespace would be better in order for the users to understand what elements are there.

  • I think the default colors (light yellow and purple) for the boxes of "answer" number and "view" number on home page are a bit inharmonious with light grey and blue colors of other components. It distracts my attention a bit.

2012-03-22 03:18:31 -0500 answered a question What are the basic concepts of a web community based on knowledge?

As you mentioned, the basic concept is knowledge. People ask new questions only if they believe that they can get really useful information. This requires having an expert group as a prerequisite in the community. Novice people can increase the traffic and question database.

But the first focus of the community should not be on novices, it should be on experts. Because if there is a sufficient number of experts in the community, then novices will follow them. But the reverse is not true, namely experts won't follow a community web site full of novices.
