I really like stackoverflow . I visit it quite often to learn something new by browsing all questions. As suprising it may sound the questions interest me more than the answers because expose areas I am not familiar or aware of.

It also good idea to show people that there is an active interest in pharo but I think thats up to the people asking the questions. I dont think stackoverflow can and should replace the mailing lists but its still is a welcomed addition.

By the way i tried to answer your git question. :)

Subject: [Pharo-users] Stackoverflow - for raising mindshare?

Hello fellow Squeak/Pharo users,

at work I find stack-overflow a quite valuable resource whenever I get
stuck with something (Java, Ruby, Unix, etc.).

What do you think about the idea of using it more, so that:

- people starting with Smalltalk can find answers there apart from
digging in the mailing-lists
- raising the awareness/mind-share about open-source Smalltalk in the
"outside world"?

I for one will try to double-post my questions both in the
corresponding mailing lists and stack-overflow, and whenever I find
good information that might be helpful for newcomers, I'll try to post
it there also.

It might help attracting more people to open-source Smalltalk and gain
more acceptance in the industry.

Best regards,

Sebastian
