Usability Yes. Social Features, Uh-Oh.
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Question of the week/Archives/2009-12-14
No problem. We can't know who influenced who and when. It's simply mutual influence between community & the Foundation. In this case the interviews acted as both a catalyst & amplifier. I consider the "Social Features" issue settled.
Personal opinion wise i'm for "Social Features" however i'm clearly against the excess of enthusiasm around it. It may be detrimental to others less glamorous recommendations.
Now all we have to do is make sure it won't screw up on "unacceptable" magnitude. Damages control duty for everyone.
@Bodnotbod I trust you in both neutrality & integrity and appreciate your efforts writing the recommendations. :)
