Adding other Stack Exchange sites, reviewing access to Meta sites #4

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Can you include other sites based on Stack Exchange, or let the user add its 
own?

For instance, Force Close is missing. Strange that a site made for Android 
questions is not viewable on your Android app :-) .

Also, put each Meta site next to the main site (not the case for the moment for 
Meta Super User and Meta Server Fault).

Or better, now that each Stack Exchange site has its own Meta site (see 
http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/07/new-per-site-metas/ ), remove the Meta 
sites from the "Add site" list and give access to the associated Meta site from 
a menu option when inside a site (not sure I'm very clear here).

ForceClose is missing because it is not a StackExchange 2.0 site, so there's 
nothing I can do here.

As for associating the meta sites with their parent sites, this is a "wontfix" 
because the current API does not provide a way to discover these connections. I 
could use some heuristic methods to determine that, but I prefer to open a 
[feature-request] on stackapps.com about this, so that I will be able to 
implement this on a later version of the API.

OK for "Force Close". Too bad.

About the Meta sites, can this help: 
http://stackapps.com/questions/1226/how-the-sites-method-is-meant-to-be-used :

"A linked_meta site inherits user accounts (including reputation) from a parent 
site; their parent can be inferred by removing "meta." from its domain name."

This is [status-planned] in the API:

tes

Once it will be implemented, Droidstack will be updated to use the new feature.
