Welcome to Writing on Codidact!
Welcome to a new home for the Writing community. Please use it, report problems and make requests on Meta, and collect your thoughts about what we need to support our community.
This site is running on beta software that will eventually become Codidact. We started with a Q&A platform that already existed, and over the coming weeks, we will be evolving this software toward the feature set we've identified for the first official release of Codidact. This means some things will change (mostly things will be added), but the core -- a community built around questions and answers -- will not change. You can read more about the vision for the platform and the features for the first release.
All questions and answers from SE have been imported. Votes have not; this site is a clean start, and anyway, we don't know who voted so we can't tell you whether you've already voted on something. You can claim ownership for your imported content: log in to SE, go to your profile page on this site (link in the header), click on "edit profile", and go down to the bottom where you'll see an import button. Results might take some time; lots of stuff is going on in the background.
There is a reputation system here for now, but there are no some rep-based privileges yet (see Art's answer). It's kind of like a private beta at SE; everybody can do most things, so be careful. I believe deletion requires only one vote and I don't know what auditing is available. We don't have many moderation tools yet, but we do have flags. Be nice and be careful please. If you run into problems or have questions, post here on meta.
Welcome aboard! We have a great community; let's build a great site together.
