Nov 23, 2014 at 13:48 comment added Emil Jeřábek I’m not sure whether you are aware that the old non-Q&A meta is still (at least in principle) in operation as tea.mathoverflow.net . One reason for keeping it was indeed that many people were concerned that Q&A is not a suitable format for meta discussion. However, what happened in practice is that after the migration, the old meta was quickly abandoned, which I guess means that the Q&A meta was found to work satisfactorily enough.
Nov 23, 2014 at 13:41 comment added Joonas Ilmavirta Could you please elaborate on what you would like to see improved or changed? Your question seems too abstract to answer. (It seems to me that concrete questions work best at MO.meta, whereas abstract ones fit MO main.) At the moment the meta is a Q&A site with badges but without reputation points. The reputation shown is the main reputation, and I think it is a useful hint about how much expertise the poster has about MO. Do you want to change the reward system or the Q&A structure or something else?
Nov 23, 2014 at 13:15 comment added Emil Jeřábek You don’t collect reputation points on meta. The number shown is just your reputation from the main site.
