Where to channel questions
Hi, I'm new to the Pharo community and I was wondering where to channel Pharo-use related questions. In the Pahro.org site it suggests to post questions on StackOverflow "If you have any question regarding Pharo, use StackOverflow <http://stackoverflow.com/tags/pharo>. Be sure to tag your question with the pharo tag, so that your question is not lost amongst all the questions on StackOverflow." But is also states that Pharo questions can be directed at this user list. What is the criteria to use one or the other?

Welcome ! Both are OK, it is a bit up to you. There are more people listening/answering on this ML.
Hi, for simple question you can also use the IRC channel #pharo on irc.freenode.net On 27 April 2015 at 18:40, Sven Van Caekenberghe <sven@stfx.eu> wrote:

Yes. That is a mistake. We will answer questions on StackOverflow, but it is not our community nor our data, and there is a significant chance questions are closed & deleted. Please use this mailing list, there is much more space for discussions and opinion. If a question is more appropriate for one of our other lists, we'll let you know. Stephan
Sometimes people also post on StackOverflow and then send link to mailing list. SO is generally oriented more on concrete problems and solutions... e.g. "How do I sort a collection?". General discussions, debates, opinions and other are discouraged and downvoted â it doesn't belong there; so best ask such questions here.
