Will Qt Developer Network gets closed end of 2012?
-
My point was that the term "beta" is being widely overused, especially on web sites. QtDN is in good shape anyway - whether it should be still called beta is somewhat debatable (then again, I don't really mind whether it is still beta or final - it works just as well). Same was the case with GMail.
-
Rumor has it that the beta badge may go away in the not so far future... But the "pastries":/forums/viewthread/7463 haven't been ordered yet :)
-
Alexandra and I argued about the beta tag the other day, we have some big things coming (Qt 4.8 documentation and Q&A forums) that I would like to land before it goes away. We're also quite far along in a security review - important but invisible work.
And once it's gone we should follow in the footsteps of others and provide a per user check box in the control panel in case you want it back ;)

Yes, you right.

This would be the most important feature we need ;-)
By the way, it could be added now for those, who don't want it, and the default is: checked (which would mean, keep it) ... -
I think we need a configuration option, to enable and disable such advanced configuration ;-)
-
Perhaps a minimum rank to do such things?
-
And of course a badge to go with it: an "I am NOT in beta" badge :-)
-
how would you define levels there, how many weeks you are out of beta? And will there also be an "I am still in beta" badge then?
-
We don't need different levels for that badge, I think. We don't either have that for many other badges. Also, I don't see the achievement of not-finding the switch to disable the beta label, so no points (badge) for that.
(Is it friday yet?)

Close enough ;-)
