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. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- denker@acm.org http://www.marcusdenker.de

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, ... frank

Ok, so should we make everyone go to SO from now on (providing the question is not a question for the list)? I support the idea but we'll all have to do it *and* track new questions. Otherwise we'll end up in a situation where noone will know where to ask / answer questions related to Pharo.

too bad :) I like stuff to be cleaned up and separated... though stackoverflow isn't that bad either, and if you properly define your preference tags it's almost like the mailing list ;) We simply have to stick to the proper tags: pharo pharo1.3 pharo1.4 pharo2.0 + maybe the concerning tool there are a couple of nice apps: http://stackoverflow.com/users/apps/174541 and I strongly vouch for using SO instead of this mailinglist for all sorts of questions. the mailing list seems to be ok for discussions (which many people enjoy here).

Apps can only be viewed for your profile (you have to sign in). So the URL would be: http://stackoverflow.com/users/apps/<your user id> +1 for SO Max On 15.05.2012, at 13:44, Camillo Bruni wrote:

Exactly. Whatever we decide, we'll need commitment from our community, esp. the key devs, to monitor the new venue with the same attention as this list. When I'm deep into the system, I'm reluctant to move my questions even to the Pharo Users list because there's only a handful of people that can answer and I don't know if they'll see them. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-on-Stackexchange-tp4630271p4630305.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
