users questions on stackoverflow

Hi,

Erwann helped creating a nice moose-technology tag on stackoverflow. We can use this tag for user questions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/moose-technology

Cheers,
Doru

I am not familiar with stackoverflow. Are you suggesting that we should use the website directly instead of using the mailing list?
How should we use stackoverflow?

It is a really great idea since stackoverflow is searchable on google, therefore people can find answers easily.

For that the mailing list works just as well.

That is no longer the case. The first year that worked pretty well, but
if you take a look at more current questions you'll see that Stackoverflow
is basically dying. The gamification is no longer working. Quality of the
questions is getting pretty bad: very detailed questions with less and less
relevance. The refusal to deal with questions relevant for software and
team development is also not helping.

Another point is that often popular answers are simply wrong. There is a very
large cargo culture visible. Just take a look at the OODB questions.

It is a pity that nobody tried to visualize the number of answers, votes
and comments the questions  get over time, and the size of the different
communities.

It's not that I don't like the format, or the gamification. In our Seaside/
smalltalk workshop we use an example that looks a lot like it.
