: : : : : STF Q&A Ship
: : : : : Start Date: 25 Oct 08 Finish Date: 8 Nov 08
: : : : :
: : : : : Given that the Q&A ship has been under used, and that WeBBspace allows for threading of notes, should the function it provides be rolled into the Academy HQ and the ship closed?
: : : :
: : : : Yes. The only question is how to go about closing it in a WeBBspace-friendly way. We can simply remove the Board from the navigation menu, but it would still be available if one got to one of the notes on it via the search function (same as the election ship). We can unpublish the node, but then if one got to a note on it via search then the link to the board would be broken.
: : : :
: : : : I don't know how much of an issue either of the above is in practice. I leave that question open for discussion.

: : : Is it possible to lock a node from being posted on? Perhaps restricting subscription, and removing all subscribers except for the site admin? If so, then we could simply hide it. People could find notes, but, would be prevented from posting on it? The MOTD could exist simply to direct them to the proper place?

: : Hm, it should be, yes. That would allow only selected site admins to post there, if they can find it, who presumably should know better. :-)

: Well... I don't think we've ever had a site admin coming onto Q&A to ask a question, so we should be good on that front, haha.

Perhaps we can address the STF Q&A ship when the actual discussion starts later in October? :P
