Demonstrate the Suggestions Generator
Title:
Demonstrate the Suggestions Generator
Area:
demonstrations
Summary:
We should demonstrate the suggestions generator, so people can see what its output looks like.
Description:
We now have a suggestions generator, as described in http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/791.html . The problem is, it isn't linked anywhere on the site map, because we want to run it through its paces a bit before making it *too* widely known, to make sure that people figure out the best practices for its use (little details like the fact that HTML is stripped/escaped, meaning that <em> and <user name=denise> don't display).
So, we should post a test suggestion, showing people what the output will look like, and inviting the people who are following this community to poke at it a bit. Then, once we're confident that it works the way we want it to, we can add it to various sitemaps here and there.
(I now predict, of course, that everyone will immediately vote that they hate this suggestion in the poll that will accompany this suggestion. Because you're all a bunch of smartasses like that. I say this with the utmost love, you understand.)
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
11 (33.3%)
Should be implemented with changes.
12 (36.4%)
Shouldn't be implemented.
5 (15.2%)
(Other: please comment)

This... confuses me.
Do you mean you want to put it through basically a closed beta in a restricted area so we can see if we can break it? Because the stuff about code stripping &c seems to me that it could profitably be covered in the userdoc.
