Feedback from the patio session at the Summit. Please add more, if you think something is missing

On the right track

Creating an official support KB was the right decision. SUMO is valuable and benefits a lot of people.
The localization dashboard is of great help and should be extended.
The feedback confirms that the KB rewrite will address a lot of the current important problems, including localization.

Needs improvement

SUMO is too slow
Some communities need localized forums
There is no way to contact contributors
Printing in current SUMO is broken
There should be a way to save an articles as PDF
The contributor documentation is too long, nobody reads it
There should be a site wide check for broken links
There should be summary of changes, e.g. for the last week
The sidebar on the right seems useless
It should be possible to look at poll results for a locale only
Edited articles waiting for review [1] should be listed by edit date (e.g., oldest first) instead of alphabetically (or at least allow for different sort orders).

The editor is not wide enough
Skipping the review phase should be possible for one-man-teams
The editor needs syntax highlighting
The syntax is too complex
There should be a way to mark articles as finished/not finished
There should be a way to remove old images from articles
When images are updated, the URL shouldn’t change.
Above the translation editor there should be some text and link to the local site. The text should give a visual explanation of the edit/review process.
The current diff is broken, no one uses it
There should be a way to tell how far the translation has progressed (20%/80% etc.)
The preview should be accurate
Copying from the diff view inserts strange characters/formatting
When old text is removed from English articles it should be removed in the translations as well
The anchors in articles should be language independent as well, like the site names. So that changing them doesn’t break linking
