Sorry to reawaken this, but I just noticed it is possible to propose new topic
specific sites (http://area51.stackexchange.com/faq) for stack overflow. So
for example we might have a spark.stackexchange.com spark specific site.
The advantage of such a site are many. First of all it is spark specific.
Secondly the reputation of people would be on spark and not on general
questions and lastly (and most importantly in my opinion) it would have spark
based moderators (which are all spark moderator as opposed to general
technology).
The process of creating such a site is not complicated. Basically someone
creates a proposal (I have no problem doing so). Then creating 5 example
questions (something we want on the site) and get 5 people need to 'follow' it
within 3 days. This creates a "definition" phase. The goal is to get at least
40 questions that embody the goal of the site and have at least 10 net votes
and enough people follow it. When enough traction has been made (enough
questions and enough followers) then the site moves to commitment phase. In
this phase users "commit" to being on the site (basically this is aimed to see
the community of experts is big enough). Once all this happens the site moves
into beta. This means the site becomes active and it will become a full site if
it sees enough traction.
I would suggest trying to set this up.
Thanks,
Assaf

Hey Reynold,
Looks like we all of the proposed changes into Proposed Community Mailing Lists
/ StackOverflow
Changes<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N0pKatcM15cqBPqFWCqIy6jdgNzIoacZlYDCjufBh2s/edit#heading=h.xshc1bv4sn3p>.
Anything else we can do to update the Spark Community page / welcome email?
Meanwhile, let's all start answering questions on SO, eh?! :)

That's a good question, looking at
http://stackoverflow.com/tags/apache-spark/topusers shows a few contributors
who have already been active on SO including some committers and PMC members
with very high overall SO reputations for any administrative needs (as well as
a number of other contributors besides just PMC/committers).

I was just wondering, before we move on to SO.
Do we have enough contributors with enough reputation do manage things in SO?
We would need contributors with enough reputation to have relevant privilages.
For example: creating tags (requires 1500 reputation), edit questions and
answers (2000), create tag synonums (2500), approve tag wiki edits (5000),
access to moderator tools (10000, this is required to delete questions etc.),
protect questions (15000).
All of these are important if we plan to have SO as a main resource.
I know I originally suggested SO, however, if we do not have contributors with
the required privileges and the willingness to help manage everything then I am
not sure this is a good fit.
Assaf.

Subject: Re: Handling questions in the mailing lists
Agreed that by simply just moving the questions to SO will not solve anything
but I think the call out about the meta-tags is that we need to abide by SO
rules and if we were to just jump in and start creating meta-tags, we would be
violating at minimum the spirit and at maximum the actual conventions around SO.
Saying this, perhaps we could suggest tags that we place in the header of the
question whether it be SO or the mailing lists that will help us sort through
all of these questions faster just as you suggested. The Proposed Community
Mailing Lists / StackOverflow
Changes<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N0pKatcM15cqBPqFWCqIy6jdgNzIoacZlYDCjufBh2s/edit#heading=h.xshc1bv4sn3p>
has been updated to include suggested tags. WDYT?
