It's 6 days into the private beta, we only have 66 questions, and Robert CartainoRobert Cartaino has very discreetly announcedvery discreetly announced:

We decided to extend this private beta another 7 days. The question count is a bit on the low side to launch and that gives you a bit more time to flesh out the scope and let the community self-moderation take a bit more hold.

I don't think we actually have any major moderation or scope issue, but I can't deny that traffic is slow, both in terms of questions and in terms of answers. We have quality but not quantity.

What do we most urgently need?

  • More elementary questions?
  • More advanced questions?
  • More varied questions?
  • More users to provide questions?
  • More answers? (25% unanswered questions worries me.)
  • Better answers?
  • More users to provide answers?
  • Something else?

I'd especially like to get some input from people who haven't been participating very actively, if at all. Is the site not what you expected? Are you afraid of not fitting (in which case, don't be, I think we all agree that this site should target all levels, whether or not we agree on the best way to reach this goal)? Is the issue the level of questions, or the topics?
