As asked for on the front page: Discussion of Submission Guidelines.
It wouldn't be slashdot without hot-button topics generating hundreds of posts in areas on the more political charged side of science (global warming, nuclear energy, weapons, evolution, etc.)
I've noticed that the quality of articles on Slashdot has gone down a lot in recent years. Even if Slashdot goes back to the original format, I think we can make a much better site by having better articles.
Categories
As is stands now OldSlashdot has the following categories on the front page.
- Ask Slashdot
- Book Reviews
- Games
- Idle
- YRO
- Cloud
- Hardware
- Linux
- perhaps we should add a Windows and OSX category as well or just call this Operating Systems. I'm a Linux user at home, but it seems one sided to have only a category for Linux. We should try to be unbiased when possible.
- Management
- Mobile
- Science
- Security
- Storage
Is this the same format people would want on a new site? Expand the list, or focus more on fewer categories? Combine where possible (i.e. Storage and Cloud may fit in some larger category ??) Additions:
- Alternative Energy
- General Current events ?
