There has not been any response here, so I'll take a shot and announce a first installation.
Our ratio of unanswered questions has risen to uncomfortable levels (over 10%). So let's meet next
Saturday, June 16th, around 11am CEST¹
in our chat to check out unanswered questions and collaboratively
- answer,
- improve or
- close² them.
Maybe we will even create some follow-up questions. I expect to be there till around 5pm CEST, but that's certainly no reason to stop.
I hope to see many of you in chat then. See you on Saturday!
Three people attended the event and contributed answers (jmad, Dmitri Chubarov and myself), namely
- Building ideal skip lists
- Master theorem not applicable?
- How to convert finite automata to regular expressions? (three new answers!)
- Reduction to equipartition problem from the partition problem?
- How to describe algorithms, prove and analyse them?
Obviously we did not make a dent into the unanswered question statistics given the manpower, but I think we did well. Instead of actually digging through the list of closed questions, we tackled questions we had on our minds to deserve more/better answers, and as it turned out that kept us busy for the day. Imagine what ten or fifteen users with two answers each could do!
Please let me know what made you not join in so we can make future instances more attractive.
- That's 9am UCT, 5am EDT, 2am PDT -- sorry NA folks, but I have other plans on Saturday evening. Just join in when you wake up and keep it going.
- I expect that most questions which can not be answered or improved to be close-worthy. I do not suggest to make that a general rule or anything!
