Yeah we will for sure. We're going to be improving a lot of things so I don't want to flood the front page with improvements. We will summarize them in groups.

Re:my 2 cents

On: Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot?

Hacker News stories are voted for entirely by users. Should we implement something to incorporate firehose stories onto the front page if they reach a certain level of votes in the firehose?

Re:Moderation, Editors, ditch the Firehose

On: Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot?

The firehose is not responsible at all for what makes the front page now. This would diversify who the content is coming from in some occasions on the front page, and there would of course be a lot of checks and balances to prevent abuse, and only some would get posted each day, and not *too* frequently
