https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/ is cleared for final graduation and immediately dropped beta status. Ethereum was one of the fastest ever graduated Q&A sites in the Stack Exchange network (~ 500 days)! This is a huge milestone, not only for Ethereum Stack Exchange, but for the whole Ethereum community. Ethereum joins an elite of 35 technologies which deserve it's own fully-fledged Stack Exchange Q&A site in the network
But, huh, what does that mean? The final graduation will be fulfilled in two steps. The first one, basically removing the beta logo and immediately enabling the following features:
- moderator elections: community members can nominate and vote on new site moderators (finally, this was needed so badly, really! :)
- community ads: community members can propose free advertisements for non-profit and/or open-source projects in the Ethereum ecosystem which will be visible on the site
- network effect: a link to Ethereum Stack Exchange will appear in any footer of all sites across the Stack Exchange network
