"I'm rather excited to get going with Soylent and to watch it grow. Nay, help it grow. I have lurked in /. for more than a decade (note: I'm not the same username over there, I know, how sneaky), and always wished I could have been involved with the beginning. So this is a great opportunity, and I joined as soon as I saw what Soylent was doing. Not to mention the fact that I felt right at home with the old style. It's very comfortable.

So here's a question for everyone. Are we going to be the same as slashdot? A clone that focuses as entirely as possible on tech related news? Or will we branch out to other topics? I'm interested to see either way. I posted a comment to this effect in one of our two existing polls, and it may be a community-wide assumption, but I do think it merits a discussion."

    MathJax [mathjax.org]

    AIUI, MathJax has one rendering engine and several parsers, including ones for MathML and LaTeX. Not sure how it would be integrated, so not all notations might be available (I think the lameness filter may be an issue for MathML), but I heard LaTeX specifically mentioned. I suspect most of us are at least as comfortable with LaTeX notation as MathML, and it's way less typing. (MathML might be useful for pasting in from other sources, though.)
