Re: [Pharo-users] Google visibility?

Jan. 13, 2017


      so it is not a good idea for an open source project, as I feared.

No it's not publicly visible   quite the contrary , Slack prioritize privacy because it's meant to be used by teams working on commercial projects which are the ones more likely to pay for a slack subscription.
If you want to search as a teams's history you need to gain access as a guest or a member , in both cases you will need an invite. So it makes little sense for Slack to give Google Acess to its teams history.
If you as a team want to have unlimited messages then you will need to pay for the Slack subscription.
Of course none can stop us from creating a bot that will copy the messages to an HTML website , that Google can search, hence lifting the 10k limit as well. Or even better commit those messages to a github repo that can be loaded as a project inside a Pharo image

Slack encrypts the message history and it only stores 10.000 messages

You could use the Slack search feature

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?
