Once again, the act of writing a question led me to an answer and thus I did not post it. (I didn't understand how the keyring in the *heical* worked and now I think I get it.) (more) |

Yeah, I copied a couple of my unanswered questions early on and that was not a good idea. I'd prefer that we set up a way to request specific imports, as I suggested in an answer on the other question I linked. (more) |

I had no idea the Mikdash had a lock! (I'm a little confused from your quoted description by how the keychain worked, but I can ask a separate question about that.) (more) |

@IsaacMoses that's what I meant, yes. I am open to the possibility that there are subject areas that should be excluded and that, for those that are permitted, we would require certain language. (I just can't think of any that should be excluded no matter how they're asked and that would otherwise ... (more) |

@robev how could he have written the torah at God's command and not known its contents? (This is why I included the possibility that God then caused him to forget some of it.) (more) |

(How) are these topics addressed in yeshivot when teaching teenagers? (I'm not saying that's what we should do, but it seems like that could inform what we do and I have no personal experience to draw on.) (more) |

@AA by "his" I meant the Satmar Rav. If my "nobody" neighbor Moishe appeals to a govt' official for something, that's not especially interesting. If a prominent Jewish leader, acting *as* a prominent Jewish leader, uses that influence, that seems more relevant. I agree that the question should provid... (more) |

@DonielF yes, "all of us will die otherwise" versus "one of us will die and I'm willing for it to be me rather than you" seem like different cases. (more) |

@magicker72 right now it's just by most recent activity. But if we edit the outgoing challenge before creating the new one, the new one will naturally end up on top -- just a little extra work for the organizer to remember. (There I go, creating work for you DonielF. :-) ) (more) |

@AA oh, I misremembered; that first one was mine and I thought it had been closed. Maybe I'm remembering a discussion about closing it. Thanks for the links. If Mi Yodeya is as permissive as what I've described here then great; I had thought there was more resistance. (more) |

| Comment | Post #276906 |
@AA I think my first three would have been closed on Mi Yodeya, and I'm unsure about the rest. I vaguely recall asking one like my first one that *was* closed. I think all my negative examples would also be off-topic on Mi Yodeya. (more) |

@msh210 I added some negative examples (could probably use more/better ones). (more) |

The license would require it from a third-party translator. If the author decides to post it in both languages the license wouldn't require linking, but it's good practice and something we could set as a site policy. That's actually the easier issue; the harder one, I think, will be conveying that th... (more) |

We'd need to make it clear that the two categories are not merely translations of the same content, as a naive browser might assume otherwise. (And should somebody be motivated to translate a question to the "other" language, we'd want them to be linked together.) (more) |

| Comment | Post #276858 |
We don't have a large body of existing tags here like Mi Yodeya has, so we're going to need to create new ones. (And then when we import questions later we'll need to reconcile differences -- another reason to do imports in smaller batches.) (more) |

@manassehkatz better to add date-range support to search, and then anybody can use it to populate this list *or for other purposes*. (On other sites I've sometimes wanted to constrain a search by time.) (more) |

@manassehkatz thanks for the data points. I hope someone will be able to bring sources for the various positions in an answer. (more) |

@rosends my question is more about whether you can use the trop *in* shul in this context. I've edited to clarify, thanks. (more) |

@manassehkatz I assume we can do this privately, but, as you said and I tried to get at (maybe not clearly enough), doing it in public as part of a service might be different. (more) |

@DonielF looks like! Please let us know if you encounter any issues with this. (more) |

@DonielF I think we need to address the question in @msh210's answer: are we building a glossary or a dictionary? Once we know what the goal is we can decide how best to implement it. That question might need to be raised more prominently. (more) |

@manassekatz I don't think meta-tags like challenge-1 on main-site questions are a good idea. Q&A is for posterity; challenges are interesting for a short time. I think it's better to build an index to record the challenge. (more) |

@Dani I don't think we need a category or even one post per request -- a single list that everyone edits would be ideal, or, worst case, one list per requester. I want to make this easy on the developer who's going to say "give me the next 50" or whatever. I think we can do this on meta. (more) |

@Harel13 I think people are defaulting to "like Mi Yodeya" because it's a baseline many here share. But that doesn't mean that's static; it means things haven't been worked out yet. There are several meta threads (in addition to this one) on various aspects of this question. Please help shape the o... (more) |

When I saw "female kohen" in the title I thought you meant a *bat kohen*, but it looks like you're asking about wives. Or are you asking about both? (I don't know if Mrs. Kohen is "a (female) kohen".) (more) |

There was also some [discussion of names](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/276280#answer-276301) on the proposal that led to the creation of this community. (Other answers there address it too; I'm linking to the one with actual suggestions.) (more) |

Isaac no, and we really ought to talk about that (I guess on main Meta). Now that you mention it, I'm a little surprised it hasn't come up yet. I think everyone's just winging it. :-) (more) |

This is the flip side of the branding discussion we were having on the proposal when naming the site, yeah. We're not the only site that could use better wording here. (more) |

Or set the threshold higher for answers. Some questions collect several answers that are all quality answers (I know I've asked questions that have produced this effect); I'd rather have absolute criteria than grade on a curve where an answer's results depend not on that answer but on what else is t...

That sounds helpful. I would benefit from some extra learning time; we're not all so fluent that we can look at a *luach* and say "ok, got it". :-) (more) |

This is an important distinction to make, thank you. As for the help, I only mentioned that because the question raised it; I don't think the help is the right place for either type of content. (more) |

I spun off "what to do with votes" as a [separate question](https://judaism.codidact.com/questions/276612) because of the ambiguity of voting as expressed in @msh210's comment. (more) |

Apparently our site has to be added to an allow list there before links show up. (Makes sense; they wouldn't want to provide links to trolls, bigots, and spammers.) I've asked somebody who can ask somebody. (more) |

Interesting. I tried to research an answer to this question and this [page at halachipedia](https://www.halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Tzitzit#Material_Requirements) covers leather (no) and synthetics whether woven or not (dispute), but doesn't cover *natural* fiber (or wool specifically) but not ...

And the torah gives us laws of *avadim*, including those with debts to pay off, with no indication that those laws are only for later. (This is a weak argument not worthy of an answer by itself, but might be something you want to add in?) (more) |

When citing sources please do it in an appropriate fashion, yes. Another part of the question is whether (and if so when) we require people to source answers. (more) |

I haven't read the code, but since it's JS on our side, I imagine that when the script is invoked -- i.e. when somebody views a page with a link -- they could update references at their end. It's not immediate, apparently; the link from this question doesn't show us yet. (more) |

We envisioned categories (for Q&A) for where the scope and/or expectations of posts are different somehow. Meta isn't about the topic of the site but about the site itself; that's a scope difference.
