The result of that work went live on Thursday and after an initial hiccup with
|
|
|
|
|
a questionably named user posting off topic content its going well so far. One
|
|
|
|
|
of the first posts on the site is one asking for feedback on
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://lesswrong.com/lw/5/issues_bugs_and_requested_features/">Issues, Bugs, and Requested Features</a>.

The thread has been inundated with all three of these so it looks like I still
|
|
|
|
|
have plenty of work ahead refining the user experience.

As well as being the first site I've worked on from start to finish (aside from
|
|
|
|
|
personal ones) Less Wrong is also my first Python project and significant open
|
|
|
|
|
source project. It's been great learning another programming language and
|
|
|
|
|
putting that knowledge into practice. You can <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://github.com/tricycle/lesswrong/">check out the code on
|
|
|
|
|
GitHub</a> (pun not intended). Also if you end up looking at or using the
|
|
|
|
|
code or Less Wrong itself and encounter any issues there is an <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://code.google.com/p/lesswrong/issues/list">issue tracker on Google
|
|
|
|
|
Code</a> where they can be logged.
