:::::::::How about a short reader survey, e.g. using [[mw:Extension:QPoll]]? If you know what readers want to see more or less of, which features they find helpful, etc., that might help you determine what to tackle next. Essentially, there are other similar sites, so it's a question of how to differentiate Rosetta Code from the rest. --[[User:Morn|Morn]] 16:19, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::The big thing that I've seen that differentiates RC from most of the others is its continued expansion and vibrant community. Compare [http://en.literateprograms.org/Special:Recentchanges|Literate Program's recent changes feed]] with [[Special:RecentChanges|Rosetta Code's]]. Also, here's a past-year perspective on site traffic; We do better than double our traffic each year--by no means amazing progress for a website in general, but it's certainly stable geometric growth. (If you're curious, take a look at a Google Analytics' extraction of the [http://rosettacode.org/resources/Analytics_wiki_20091227-20101225_(DashboardReport).pdf last years' traffic]). --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 01:58, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::We don't go in for surveys and polls all that much, to be honest. This isn't so much a democracy as rule by anyone willing to put in the work (with Mike being the benevolent dictator when it comes to matters technical with site operation). But that's not to say that we're opposed to having examples improved. All it takes is a one-man crusade that shows the other people who do task and solution curation what things ''could'' be with only a little extra work. “A little less conversation, a little more action please” as the song goes. Lead by example. (And I agree with Mike: the thing that differentiates RC is the community; this place has critical mass at least for now, and I'm not going away…) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 14:54, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
