I'm interested in what all of you think would be some nice features or additions to this site. Things currently in the works:
  • preview submissions
  • moderation/ranking for questions and answers in the categorized Q&A section. This will put the best, and most descriptive answers at the top, and those that are less helpful near the bottom. As for questions it'll allow the ones that are most general to move towards the top and others to filter down or disappear entirely if they're in the wrong place.
  • Some code optimizations.
  • Read more links for lengthy items on the frontpage.
  • Coding challenges? People could submit challenges and once a week or so I would pick a new one. Then people could submit solutions. The winners could be decided by voting, the person who submitted the challenge etc... and the winners would receive some form of recognition/position of stature.

    Got other ideas? Opinions on any of these? Add your thoughts to the discussion.
