unless we pay. they basically kidnap our messages and demand a ransom for them (and is expensive)⦠and the model seems to work, everybody prefers using that than a searchable tool :(
I would prefer to use an open tool, but well⦠slack gives us a lot of features and life is like this :(

Google already is capable on focusing on Pharo related websites.
The core of our documentation is located on 3 websites
World.st , this sites includes a forum website for all the Smalltalk related mailing lists
Stackoverflow, Pharo has its own tag and a ton of answered questions
Github.com, here are located all the Pharo books
So to search all documentation about Spec on only these 3 websites you use the following search query
pharo spec site:world.st OR site:stackoverflow.com OR site:github.com
There are other ways to customize a google search query , please look at google search documentation

Has anybody looked into SEO'ing any of the great documentation and archived questions on the mailing list?
It strikes me that I often can't find the answer to questions I have on Google, but they are often answered in material that I can find when I look manually for some time or am pointed at it by an experienced member of the community.
I also miss Pharo - content on Stackoverflow, it is a very efficient way to get past road blocks quickly.
Any thoughts or history to bring me up to speed with?
cheers,
