Did you notice that it's already December on the calendar? You are probably almost ready for the celebration, bought gifts, participated in and stocked up on tangerines. Naturally, every Habra-user wants not only to give, but also to receive something for the new year. And since each of us is quite picky, we often order gifts for ourselves.
Including we order gifts from Habr. And a whole year without interruptions. Let's see what we have ordered this year and what we have already received. And what else can we get.
So, the most complete list of what users asked from Habr for this year. Let's start!
Entry
This year was notable for the almost monthly AMA with Habr. And, of course, instead of the usual asking questions about something, about everything and nothing, the Habr community used the opportunity to ask for something of their own. In addition, there were several posts announcing changes to the site that suffered a similar fate.
There are 15 such posts in total (their full list is under the spoiler), and there are 3 comments on them. Someone must have read them all. Why not me?

Last comment
We have this task in the backlog (it was proposed in the 4th direct line), but since then it has not yet been included in the development plan 🙁
As an option (which I use myself) - prepare a draft publication in GoogleDocs, which is much more convenient for teamwork. And then publish the article through the converter. Something like this.

Until we do this on the mobile version. We want to see how it goes on the desktop.
One of the solutions, when selecting text on a mobile phone, is to show an icon, such as the extensions of all translators have done.

07 - Allow to put a minus only with karma 10+;
08 - Paid voting, if the karma is negative;
☓ - Combining karma / rating;
Administration position
… we do not plan to merge - these are two indicators that exist independently of each other. Rating is a dynamic indicator that depends on the user's activity on the site (and it decreases in case of inactivity), while karma is a kind of abstract indicator of usefulness/adequacy of users, formed by other active members of the site.
from
☓ — Automatic zeroing of negative karma (+1 per day);
Administration position
Someone does not pay attention to negative karma, someone - if it interferes, can reset it at any time (though only once). The rest is a complication of mechanics 🙂

☓ - When deleting users and their articles, do not delete comments from other users;
Administration position
In principle, there was already an argument about additional difficulties for moderators, and also a colleague answered about rights. But I’ll touch on one more aspect: “Sometimes it happens that a user has been deleted, and with it his articles” - I haven’t seen cases of deleting users for a long time (if we are talking directly about the user-author, and not about some Cossack-robber with rights read&comment ignoring resource rules). If something disappears, then the material is hidden in drafts - often by the decision of the author himself, sometimes - by the decision of the moderator (which means there were reasons for this, for example, violation of the rules) or the regulator. Iii supposedly there was something very useful in the comments to these articles ...? ) It seems to me that the situation, if not far-fetched, is sooooo rare. And for the sake of it, it hardly makes sense to complicate the mechanism of the site. In other words, you can spend a lot of time on the implementation of the Wishlist, but there will be no profit from it.

Instead of a conclusion
Of course, not all the suggestions and wishes of users were commented on by the administration, but some were immediately implemented. Some of them have not received answers from other users, and some have too many answers.
Some of these wishes have been on Habré for many years and will never be fulfilled, and some have appeared quite recently. But now, during World Listing Month, it's time to compile this one.
I know I may have missed something or not noticed, and besides, I only studied 15 main posts. This applies to both wishes and their fulfillment. So I'm happy to add or correct it as soon as I get more information.
I hope you have found your desire in this list. There is a chance that it will come true very soon. Thank you for your attention!
PS If you find any typos or errors in the text, please let me know. This can be done by selecting a part of the text and clicking "Ctrl / ⌘ + Enter"if you have Ctrl / ⌘, either via . If both options are not available, write about the errors in the comments. Thank you!
