I've been using this page pretty often for the last couple days and it's worked well. Will we see a link on the the main page soon, Paul?

Maybe, but there may be better ways of showing the same info.

Excellent. To me, the real value (or potential value) of this site lays in the discussions centering around the links, rather than the links themselves, so I'll probably be using this as the default view from now on.

Might be an idea to make this view contribute 25% to the ranking of the main view as well? Quite a few decent discussions with few votes have popped up, so it might be a good idea.

'... To me, the real value (or potential value) of this site lays in the discussions centering around the links, rather than the links themselves, ...'

yes exactly. but alas it never seems to happen. the links are really just points of interest that attract good ideas, comments or insight. This was the heart of slashdot, perlmonks et., al.

I don't trawl sites for links, I trawl them for the "insight, opinions and ideas on the links".

On the positive side though, I do believe it will only take a few tweaks to the site (for instance adding active discussions to the weighting that determines the front page order) and maybe 30-40 regular contributers to get the critical mass for discussions going. I've noticed regular contributors such as Alex3917, python_kiss, rms and danielha (and of course pg) are constantly making valuable comments, just a few more guys like them and I think we'll be set.

hey, can we add this to the top nav bar so I don't have to bookmark it separately?

and maybe show on the listing page how long ago the last comment was?
