Should there be some sort of standardised list of features for new Stack Exchanges? What I'm thinking about is that different Stack Exchanges can make more or less use of 'custom' features.

For example, on of the most useful features for would be the ability to cross post between sites such as and because there will be a lot of 'borderline' questions that may be more suited to another site. What might be less useful for would be hosted posting of photographs.

However, for, cross posting right now is not particularly useful because there are few grey areas between the other sites and cooking. However hosting of photos, and adding a recipe 'module' to the cooking site would be very useful.

Should there be some sort of system for voting on standardised features so that the community can see what features would be most useful to add to each stack exchange site . Eventually I can inagine that there may be too many additional 'modules' for sites that switching all of them on at once may create too much clutter and user confusion.

In general these should be discussed on the per-site metas.

Whether the engine gets the feature or not will be determined by the "strength" of the SE 2.0 site in the network, as well as how many other SE 2.0 sites could benefit from that feature.

Also, see Robert's answer here:


Of course, if the idea involves the core engine or the Network, the idea should be raised in Pretty cool, huh?
