That is a bad idea. Stackoverflow works pretty bad for us. Questions get closed by clueless moderators. The gaming system doesn't work for non-mainstream technologies. Stephan

I don't see how "[t]he gaming system doesn't work for non-mainstream technologies" can be true. F#, Clojure, Haskell are hardly mainstream technologies, and SO works just great for them. frank

I donât agree. I think it works great. Yes, not everything works perfectly but the pharo traffic has increased quite a bit on SO and people go there to ask questions. There are also a couple of outstanding answers to problems in the Smalltalk world on SO that I doubt you would find on the mailing lists. Cheers, Max

I was not aware of that. Do you have recent examples about this behaviour ? Shall we move the discussion to pharo-users instead ? -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/
