I have some suggestions for improving of Stack Overflow, but I don't know if there is any other place where I can give my suggestions.

Should I post them here?

    Have a read of How to participate in meta and not die trying. I found it pertinent when I'd made a suggestion that wasn't very well received. (MSO is usually quite conservative and sometimes interprets suggestions for change as criticism of something that is loved.)

    @Freedom don't suggest edits to draw attention for the question. This was a minor edit. And don't add to draw more attention to your question in edit summery.

    @hims056 I'm not sure what extra attention was required, it's already been answered by a StackExchange community manager and that answer has been accepted. Bumping for more attention at this point is just...weird.

Yes, this is the right place.

Usually you'll want to tag your suggestions with , but it depends somewhat on what they are. is fine for posts that are proposing new site features or changes to how existing site features work. But if you're just bringing up site policy changes, for example, would be more appropriate.

    And if you do make it a feature request, don't be shocked if you receive a couple of downvotes @Ðeepak. This is still the right place, but the downvotes might indicate disagreement with your proposal.

FYI: The new location for posting Stack Overflow feature requests is at https://meta.stackoverflow.com (not https://meta.stackexchange.com).

Details: Operation 'Split, All The Metas!' Shall Commence On April 16, 2014

    There's a bit of nuance here - while the SO featurebase has diverged somewhat - the 'core' platform is still the same, so many 'SO' questions are on topic here. I'd say maybe 80-90% of questions of 'mechanics' of the site are common, though naturally questions of governance and culture belong on the appropriate per site meta

    Also, FYI, back when this question was originally posted, this site was hosted on the domain meta.stackoverflow.com. Then, a year later, it was moved to meta.stackexchange.com, and a brand new per-site meta was established on the former domain.
