[MeFi Site Update] October 16th October 16, 2024 1:49 PM Subscribe
Hi there!
Welcome to this month’s Site Update!
You can find the last update here.
Profit & Loss
– You can find this month's P&L report here. The previous P&L reports are here.
Admin
– You can read the latest updates about the MetaFilter Community Foundation here.
– We are still going over adjustments to the Guidelines and Content Policy based on the feedback from members. So far we’re planning on expanding guidelines specific to each subsite and we’ll share a draft of these changes on a separate Meta post once it is ready.
Fundraising
– We have raised $11,959.00 in one time contributions and $340.00 in new Subscriptions. These contributions are a huge lift and we’ll work with the Community Foundation to put that extra revenue to good use.
We’ll wrap the fundraising by the end of this month with the release of the new site’s MVP, the MeFi Cookbook, the Pet Tax wall, the AMA Podcast and a special Halloween Virtual Gala.
Tech
– Early access to the new site is delayed due to some issues with the new host service. kirkaracha is working as we speak to fix it and we hope to have it ready later this week.
– Fixed geolocation bug with IRL that was blocking posting.
– Removed time limit on Projects posts.
BIPOC Advisory Board
– Thyme and I will resume our work with the BIPOC Board this month as the previous meeting was canceled. Next meeting is scheduled for this Saturday, October 21st. Once the meeting happens we’ll report back on our plan to get back on track with the minutes and the cadence of the work with the BIPOC Board.
If you have any questions or feedback not related to this particular update, please Contact Us instead. If you want to discuss a particular subject not covered here with the community, you’re welcome to open a separate MetaTalk thread for it.

There is a MeFi cookbook project? Not sure how I missed that! I'd love to help with layout design/type design/graphics and editing!

Thank you, yueliang, I'll ping you separately and you and anyone can still use this form to share your recipes for the cookbook.

Being a bit of a tech person, I am always excited to see what's going on on the tech side of things, and I am so appreciative of everything that happens there.
(And I'm so appreciative of everything else, too! I just gravitate toward the tech reports.)
Thank you all, so much, for everything you've done this month, and this year, to keep the site running as well as it does!
*** appreciation ***
