With the dev mailing list slowly getting out of control ;) we should think of means of communication with the masses!
I created stackexchange proposal which needs YOUR support:
http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/40717/pharo?referrer=gXC4FWspxSudZ...
we need now: - 60 Followers - 40 questions with some answers!
It seems that this will not work: someone is tagging all questions as "can be asked on Stackoverflow" and requests to close the area.
So I think we will have to install our own thing instead.
If what you want is something other than a QA site, absolutely.
If you want a QA place, I don't see why people can't just use SO: there are already 113 questions tagged "pharo" there, and all people need do is... just ask your question there. It's one more thing you don't need to write/install/maintain, and one LESS thing for you to track: lists, RSS feeds, newsgroups, QA sites, ...
I did not have an account on StackOverflow until 1 hour ago. It's one more thing in itself, and I don't see how a big mess of questions helps of all topics in the world will help us.
We need somethign focussed.
http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/pharo would probably be exactly what you'd want, possibly with http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/smalltalk just to catch non-Pharo questions that could be answered from a Pharo perspective. But yes, I guess there is a cost in that you need an SO account to ask questions. Having paid that cost long ago, I didn't think about that. frank
