I told a Writing user about the new Outdoors site, and the person said words to the effect of "hey great -- I never would have known that from looking at your site". That's true; each of our sites looks like a standalone site, and unless you find your way to codidact.com, you'd never know there are others. Ok, right now there are just two plus meta, but we hope that'll change soon -- and even the two ought to know about each other.

Eventually we'll design some sort of cross-site navigation, but for now, could we find a place to add some text? Something like "This site is part of the Codidact network. See a list of our other sites (link)." One place to put this would be in the right column, below the "ask" button and above the hot links.

Alternatively, and until the list gets long, maybe we could actually list them (using our JSON API).

You mean the "API" that's just a static JSON file committed to the community-list repository? :)

Aye, we can do that - I'll add a simple note to the sidebar, and have a look at if it's possible to put a more complete list in the footer.

That's the one! Hey, you called it an API in a discussion with TopAnswers, I'm pretty sure, so I'm just playing along. :-)

Weeeelll... if you use the technical definition of API, then it is. Just not how most folks would understand it :)
