Move tags to bottom, show the most recent Rational Quote comment in the main sidebar, the most recent Open Thread and Rationality Diary comment in the Discussion sidebar

Estimate - 1

On second thought, this isn't just copying the code for finding recent comments - Estimate 2.

The current sidebar is: user area | nearest meetups | recent comments | recent posts | recent wiki edits | new on OB | tags | top contributors 30 days | top contributors all time

… which seems to be thematically organised rather than strictly organised by importance.

"Recent karma awards" seems to fit that list after "recent wiki edits", and would fit a little better if we showed the two recent awards. The cost of making the sidebar a little longer seems to me to be small given its current length… but its current length is large, and makes every page on the site fairly complex.

ALTERNATIVELY

Most of the sidebar (other than recent comments and posts) is little used (based on clicks). We could move Tags, the two Top Contributors widgets and the sitemeter widget (need to check license) to /about below the wiki content on that page, and add recent karma rewards there. We could add a link to that page titled "more site data" at the bottom of the sidebar.

Moving Tags, the sitemeter widget (unless this makes it stop counting hits), and the all-time Contributors to /about below the Wiki content makes sense to me. I'd keep the top Contributors in the last 30 on the sidebar. It would be nice to show top all-time karma awards on the /about page but only show a karma sidebar if there's been a karma award in the last 30 days, and then put it above New on OB. Failing that, I'd say put it below Contributors, Last 30 Days. Other opinions?

Want to note that this is increasing the complexity of the job. Moving stuff into the about page about 2 more points.

Maybe more, there currently is no way to track who has been awarded the most karma.

Also with respect to most recent comments, we want just one comment for each and probably just the newest top level?
