Should Law.SE be an automatic migration destination?
It would be nice to have somewhere to ship those questions. But migration isn't only about getting the wrong kind of content off our site, it is also about getting the right kind of content onto the ...

font - Arial to Georgia, reading with more comfortability
Currently your only option if you want different fonts is to write or copy a user script that does it.

Re-opening the MathML Latex discussion
No, I don't think it's worth it. There's only a small percentage of our posts that include complex formulas, maybe as much as 1%. I don't think we should slow down all pages by a noticeable amount to ...

Why not have a resource sharing section?

Stack Exchange is not a site for sharing links ...

Would it be useful to invite tag wiki edit reviewers to check for possible copy-pastes?
I think that is a good idea.
I am one of the persons who accepted that particular edit. I simply did not think about googling to see if it was a copy paste. Had there been a friendly reminder in the ...

Is a Retina JPEG image of a CC-BY-2.0 bear's arms prohibited as a community ad on security?
The specification is very... specific, and it is given in the post describing how to submit adverts.
It must be 220x250 pixels - retina is not even vaguely relevant here. "With Retina support" does ...

Some new features, such as following questions and answers, are very easy to roll out across the entire network. Just update the codebase and it works. Dark Mode is sadly not one of those things; they'...

Can we rename the DMZ to "The Honeypot"?
I think DMZ is more appropriate; it donotes a place between the wide open internet and the protected internal network. Honeypot denotes a attractive target that appears to have value but is a decoy to ...

Do we have a built-in merge functionality implemented to deduct possible duplicate questions?

smart tagging feature for discussion topics
I don't think there is a need for this. Search engines search on tags and content so they will work just fine, and that is one of the key factors.
