[Pharo-project] User questions
I think the options we identified are: * StackOverflow * dedicated site - we seem not to fit stackexchange's guidelines - our own hosted site, possibly like http://ask.rascal-mpl.org/questions/ * Users mailing list The disadvantage of the users list vs. the other options is that the domain model is much weaker for questions/answers e.g. was it answered? does the community think it's a good answer? On the question of internal/external. I guess the big tradeoff is the visibility of something like SO (where the outside world will see the energy of Pharo's Smalltalk revival) vs. keeping control of the content. Of the two options available this second, which do we prefer to get started - SO, or the users list?

I like SO, but the most important is the discipline. Every time a non-bleedingedge-dev question is sent to the list, we should encourage people to treat it in the corresponding place instead of answer it :).

Done. The default subscription provides daily updates, which is much less frequently than I want. I changed it and added the rss feed at feed://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/pharo to my mail app. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/User-questions-tp4630513p4630651.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
