talk about moving slow.

two years and that's what we get? meanwhile my bigger diffs are still garbage. and we have to use other companies to have a simple agile board... and don't even get me started on decent branch management and rebases...

sigh. really hate that my employer buys that

Kinda meh on adding it to the repo since it's yet another file I have to "manage" that isn't really part of the working code.

Many large FOSS projects (which this is aimed for) already have CONTRIBUTING.md etc...

I personally prefer this non UI/Github specific approach.

I asked Craigslist to do this years ago for the "for sale" sections, so that people included the number of doors on a car, the color, etc., and the kind of heat in an apartment, and so on. Such a simple thing, and would make searching so much better, and the service in general better.

Craigslist has dedicated form fields for a lot of those things, which can then be used with search filters. The problem is that they aren't mandatory, and most users don't fill them in.

The side effect of this is that if you use the search filters, you risk missing out on a result which matches your criteria but lacks the metadata. (Craigslist doesn't have an option to search for only Blue AND Unspecified, so there's no good way to just hide the explicitly non-Blue cars.)
