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. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

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

You get a google account, facebook, or something, then the cost is approximately 4 clicks in your favourite web browser Nicolas

SO account? what is it? I authorized with OpenID. So registering is few clicks. I think we don't need separate site. SO is just fine. I added 'smalltalk' tag into my favorites, and i get notified by mail every time there's a new question
