Guidelines for Design: reorganizing points
Line 68:
*To show guests a lively, active space that encourages them to get involved, we have a preference for showing new things before old things - active hosts, recent guests, and new questions at the top of the Q&A board.
*Make sure the space above the fold includes active content, not just static text.
 
===Make data-driven decisions===
*Teahouse is based on research and experimentation to see what works best. If you have an idea, be bold and make it into an experiment.
*Asking questions like "what problem am I trying to solve?" and "what has past research shown works or doesn't work?" is usually a good place to start.
*Test your hunches. What works best for you might not be the best solution for your target audience. Think about how you can design an experiment to learn if your change or new feature is having a positive impact.
*Measure outcomes of changes, and make decisions for the future based on those outcomes.
 
===Play with the theme===
Line 85 ⟶ 79:
* Provide learning pathways for editors so they have a sense of what skills are out there and what behaviors make Teahouse better.
* Make achievements personal, fun, and visible with badges, barnstars, and thanks.
