One thing that you think I should change as quickly as possible.

Some kind of move towards shared Privileges across accounts on the Stack Exchange Network.

The decade-long company and community thought is that each site is so unique that users who have been trusted to edit, say, Stack Overflow couldn't possibly be trusted to edit Super User without putting in years of work to hit 2,000 reputation and beyond.

I really don't think this hypothesis has ever been tested. We have no problem allowing accounts on SO to edit questions and answers on tags with which they have zero experience. Let those same users make edits and tag suggestions and work the review queue on completely separate sites.

The 100-reputation "association bonus" was an essential quality-of-life improvement to get experienced users started on secondary SE sites. Expand that same system to give higher-rep privileges to trusted users, network wide.

This would potentially inject a ton of new life and new Curators into the lower-traffic SE sites.


P.S. Some individual sites could of course opt-out, similar to the per-site HNQ controls.
