Scratch paper.

At the risk of suggesting a solution to a non-existent/insignificant issue:

<select/> in addition to <input type="text"/> ... That is to say, a drop-down menu for basic edit categories (content rewrite, new content, minor grammatical fix, date fix, major overhaul, fill in picture request, whatever) and the same old text bar for people who want to explain more about the change. Motivation: This could then be used to allow filtering in Recent Changes.

The default is blank (uncategorized edit). Naturally, all edits prior to the theoretical introduction of this feature would have that database field blank anyway.

Quick edits would still be marked as (quick edit) but also given a small text field (one-upping Daubert's suggestion) for comments. Or maybe just give it a drop-down menu with default being (quick edit), I don't see a problem with that either.

The only issue I can think with this proposal is whether or not people really would bother to use it.

Again, at the risk of suggestion a solution to a non-existent/insignificant issue:

I've noticed that the user-page comment etiquette involves reply on the other person's user page so it triggers the yellow messages box thingy-thing. However, this can make it hard to eavesdrop follow other peoples' conversations sometimes, since it's bouncing between two user pages and not being threaded. (If I am misconstruing the whole thing, please do correct me.)

Proposed solution would be to append a [reply] to comments posted on userpages that will hop to an anchor, maybe like #CYYYYMMDDHHMMSS (e.g. #C20100511063015 for 10 May 2010, 6:30:15 am) and hope that no two persons post a comment on the same user page at the same exact time.

According to this pdf (at time of hyperlinking: 09-10 undergrad resident fees), undergrads pay $105/yr for ASUCD, and another $18/yr for Unitrans = $123/yr.

Unitrans ten-ride tickets are $6 each. (Passes are ignored for simplicity's sake.)

$123 / $6 = 20.5 ten-ride tickets, or 205 rides.

If one boards the bus from the MU or Silo terminals, one does not pay fare/ show ID card. Trips leaving campus do not count in this calculation.

There are approximately 150 days (10 weeks, 5 days each, three quarters) of instruction. Assuming one makes a single trip to campus every day, via Unitrans. Tack on another 10 days for finals (assuming 4 classes per quarter, 3 quarters, and sometimes multiple finals on same day).

What this calculation shows is that if one lives off-campus and uses Unitrans to get on campus, one can justify all ASUCD fees (i.e. fuck everything else you don't give a shit about/ knew existed, e.g. KDVS) by riding the bus on every school day plus another 15 misc. trips per quarter.

Interesting hypothesis! Daubert
