in thread Better Best Nodes?

I was going to suggest an alternate format that involved collecting the best nodes for the day until 10 threads are represented and then displaying them clustered by thread (showing a max of, say, 5 per thread).

But, instead, I think a much better solution is to stop being so frightened of front-paging threads so that we can start usually getting more than one or two new front-page threads each day.

(If the long-suffering approval changes ever get applied, then I'll get back to making front-paging easier to monitor such that I'll probably personally front-page more nodes than the rest of the eligible monks combined -- unless, of course, others are also waiting for such improvement.) (:

    I keep hearing this comment, from you and from other pmdevils. But every time I've looked for approval stuff to apply I've come up empty handed or found the patches ive been pointed at already applied. So what are these changes?

      pmdev wiki, castaway's entry on 2005-04-27 outlines the whole thing. Only the uninteresting parts have been applied (new bits being added that can't even be tested here yet much less change any behavior).

      She links to the nodes not to the patches. But the patches in question say 'approval code updates' and have not (besides the first 'uninteresting' ones) been applied.
