UPDATE: It's seems that we can change the welcome message and that there is a desire to change it. However, there is still discussion evolving about what the welcome message should be. I've posted a separate meta question that seeks to make a decision about exactly what the new welcome message should be.
I went to our site as a new user and saw the following message in the side bar:
Welcome!
This is a collaboratively edited question and answer site for practitioners and research professionals of the cognitive sciences. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The problem with this message is that "cognitive science" has less than inclusive connotations. It suggests an emphasis on cognitive science rather than the full spectrum of interests of the site. Changing the welcome message is one way that we could make the inclusive nature of our site more self-evident. For example, we could have a message something like the following which explicitly mentions other areas.
Welcome!
This is a collaboratively edited question and answer site for practitioners and research professionals in cognitive science, psychology, psychiatry, and the neurosciences. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Thus, my questions:
- Can, and if so how, we change the welcome message?
- If so, should we change it? and if yes, then what should we change it to?
Update
There was some suggestion that a shorter version might be better. Artem likes this, and I do too:
