Should a minor edit bring a Q&A back to the top of the sort order?
I am a frequent user of the Askbot instance used by LibreOffice.
Whenever I edit an existing answer, Askbot brings that question back to the "top" of the listing. When a major edit is involved, that's entirely appropriate. Sometimes, however, it's simply a typo fix, or to update a URL, or something that could be considered "minor". In these instances, bringing the edited answer to the top of the listing strikes me as inappropriate.
My enhancement request: Could the "edit" field have a "minor edit" checkbox, just like on Wikipedia:
If the "minor edit" box is checked, Askbot would leave the Q&A in its present position in the sort order, so only significant changes would bring the Q&A back to the top of the listing.
Does that idea have some traction with others?
