Mr Malda's creation is a great success story -- I for one am not much of a geek but I spend at least as much time with Slashdot as with The New York Times. But it does have problems. The page of questions to you, for instance, is now 179k long and growing. That can be quite a long download for some.
If the Slashdot folks had hired Arsdigita to develop their site using the ArsDigita Community System, what would you do differently? I'd be very interested if you could touch on both the front and back end (more information on the Slashdot system at the Slashcode FAQ).
Thanks for being a web development industry leader worthy of emulation.

Hello Mr Greenspun,
