I just whent browsing through the discussions and it looks as if we'll be having a hard time justifying a Pharo SE site. I quote (http://discuss.area51.stackexchange.com/questions/5032/re-possible-duplicate-of-stack-overflow):

Philosophically, StackExchange does not believe in setting up new sites "just because a lot of people are interested in it". It also has to be the case that the existing sites are not serving the audience concerned. Otherwise Java and C# would have their own sites. The SE staff have follwed that philosophy consistently in their decisions to close particular proposals. (e.g. Perl,CodeIgniter etc).


Someone pointed to http://ask.rascal-mpl.org/questions/. That site is actually an Askbot page (an open source SE clone). So maybe, what we want is an Askbot setup?

Cheers,
Max

I created stackexchange proposal which needs YOUR support:

http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/40717/pharo?referrer=gXC4FWspxSudZ2cQVVgbgQ2

we need now:
- 60 Followers
- 40 questions with some answers!

I think this will greatly improve the efficiency of our discussions!
- tagging of discussions
- better archive for questions

go go go!

Why not simply use stackoverflow and tag your questions with "pharo"?

I really don't get this web app, I must be stupid, but how do I answer a question ?
How to I pose a question ?

PS: I am registered and confirmed my email address.


There is no answering at the moment only comments. It is in a stage to be evaluated. If the questions asked are distinct from the other sites and there is enough movement then the site will be created where you can answer the questions.
