Pharo on Stackexchange

Camillo Bruni-3
With the dev mailing list slowly getting out of control ;) we should think of
means of communication with the masses!

I created stackexchange proposal which needs YOUR support:

http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/40717/pharo?referrer=gXC4FWspxSudZ2cQVVgbgQ2

we need now:
- 60 Followers
- 40 questions with some answers!

I think this will greatly improve the efficiency of our discussions!
- tagging of discussions
- better archive for questions

go go go!

Why not simply use stackoverflow and tag your questions with "pharo"?

There is no answering at the moment only comments. It is in a stage to be evaluated. If the questions asked are distinct from the other sites and there is enough movement then the site will be created where you can answer the questions.

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.

I just whent browsing through the discussions and it looks as if we'll be having a hard time justifying a Pharo SE site. I quote (http://discuss.area51.stackexchange.com/questions/5032/re-possible-duplicate-of-stack-overflow):

Philosophically, StackExchange does not believe in setting up new sites "just because a lot of people are interested in it". It also has to be the case that the existing sites are not serving the audience concerned. Otherwise Java and C# would have their own sites. The SE staff have follwed that philosophy consistently in their decisions to close particular proposals. (e.g. Perl,CodeIgniter etc).


Someone pointed to http://ask.rascal-mpl.org/questions/. That site is actually an Askbot page (an open source SE clone). So maybe, what we want is an Askbot setup?

Cheers,
Max

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, ...

The problem with such a clone I guess is, that we'll need people to maintain the site…

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.

Ok, so should we make everyone go to SO from now on (providing the question is not a question for the list)? I support the idea but we'll all have to do it *and* track new questions. Otherwise we'll end up in a situation where noone will know where to ask / answer questions related to Pharo.

Re: Pharo on Stackexchange

Camillo Bruni-3
too bad :) I like stuff to be cleaned up and separated...

though stackoverflow isn't that bad either, and if you properly
define your preference tags it's almost like the mailing list ;)

We simply have to stick to the proper tags:
pharo
pharo1.3
pharo1.4
pharo2.0

+ maybe the concerning tool

there are a couple of nice apps:

http://stackoverflow.com/users/apps/174541

and I strongly vouch for using SO instead of this mailinglist for
all sorts of questions. the mailing list seems to be ok for discussions
(which many people enjoy here).

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.

Apps can only be viewed for your profile (you have to sign in). So the URL would be: http://stackoverflow.com/users/apps/<your user id>

+1 for SO

To me it feels like if every open source project would just use one
Bug tracker because there are tags... while I already thing that
I want sub-projects on the current one.

I personally don't think that tagging subsumes grouping.

Exactly. Whatever we decide, we'll need commitment from our community, esp. the key devs, to monitor the new venue with the same attention as this list. When I'm deep into the system, I'm reluctant to move my questions even to the Pharo Users list because there's only a handful of people that can answer and I don't know if they'll see them.
Cheers,
Sean
