Hi Robert, I've posted questions here and the past and had wonderful responses from you. You've always gave me a response that made me think in order to better understand the problem instead of spoon feeding me like an idiot - and I appreciate that. I also appreciate how you make a rendering engine that is feature packed while relatively easy to use and all at no cost to me. I guess what I'm really trying to say is thank you for your continued effort even though it means you have to occasionally deal with some of the sorts of bullshit we've seen on this thread.

For that SO is indeed useful. However, SO is completely useless as a medium for having a discussion - such as this one. In fact, such topics get routinely locked there as not being constructive. Also the mailing list is not a bug tracking system (like the issues page on Github). Ever tried to have a meaningful discussion using the issues system there? In fact, that is the part of Github that is the most heavily criticized and hated, because it is neither a proper bugtracker (lacks more advanced features to track/assign/classify the problem reports) and neither a proper discussion forum. Then there is the aspect of convenience. From my experience as a developer supporting a few projects, I don't have means nor time to check 10 different websites with 10 different systems every day for what is new and who needs help. I wouldn't be doing anything else. Email may sound archaic but it is a great timesaver - because the issue comes to me instead of me having to search for it. On many forums people are whining that their questions are not being answered - guess why. If the developer doesn't come there and read the entire forum every day (super time consuming!), they may never see it. Setting up notifications is not really a solution - it still requires you to context switch, load that page, remember what login you had for that system, answer the issue - in the same time two or three things could have been handled already if I was able to use email directly - especially when I am doing it on my own time. This is why e.g. Github allows to reply to issues by email as well. I encourage anyone suggesting that the list moves to some new shiny thing XY, because it is better/nicer/more modern/I don't like e-mail/forum/etc to consider these issues in the future. You are getting free support, so making the life easier for the project leads like Robert is probably the least they can ask for in exchange.

I agree that there are advantages for certain types of FAQ style issues. However, it's completely inappropriate for more involved topics, very often we get a thread started on the mailing list/forum that requires an iterative approach where those with more experience have to request more information, more tests, and steadily explore the issues that users are seeing. Then there are design/implementation testing topics, again a discussion forum/mailing list is what is required. I am sure I can come up with other.type of discussion that we regularly have in the community that are in-appropriate for somethiing like StackOverflow. > I would also say that moving to Stackoverflow from Mailing list/Forum is > like moving from self-hosted SVN to Github: the idea is the same, but > implementation is more convenient (e.g., no need to attach complete files > where you only need a tiny pull request). We can do all our version control work on Github, We absolutely can't do all our comminication work on StackOverflow. It's not a case of replacing a self managed Subversion repository with a centrally managed service like Github. If we were to embrace StackOverflow we would still need to existing forum/mailing list, you are ADDING an extra avenue of work not replacing one. The resource that is most precious for us is not user time, but the time of people like myself, the ones doing the support. Splitting support duties over multiple venues is a dreadful way to go, speading yourself too thinly is a guarentee of burnout and failure. So SVN -> Github, it's absolutely not the same thing as forum/mailing list -> Stackoverflow.

Hi. I would says from my personal experience that stackoverflow is a great place to find answers to common questions and, what's more important, to see most upvoted answers. Mailing list/forum doesn't have that. I would also say that moving to Stackoverflow from Mailing list/Forum is like moving from self-hosted SVN to Github: the idea is the same, but implementation is more convenient (e.g., no need to attach complete files where you only need a tiny pull request).

Hi Robert, I think the current way of answering to developers is like.. an anthill. You are gratified to see people use your library and most good answers here come from you. I think others forumers are discouraged of helping others because this forum is diluted into a thin stream of non-generic problems which you silently approve or disapprove of.

Your response is classic example of someone who responds with emotive and manipulative language when you can't convince others to do what you want. Please keep such post off the forum/mailing list is they really aren't helpful to us as a community or to you getting the support you need i.e. don't be a obnoxious to others that you want help from. The mailing list/forum exists for supporting the community. Sure we get quite a few posts from developers who really could have easily got an answer by reading the heads, the doxygen docs, the OSG examples, the docs on the website, the OSG books or search the web. Developers with more initiative will find these examples and rarely post apart from advanced question. Sure I woould prefer that all developers had the initiative to get by without asking so many obvious questions, but the world is made of many different type of people, some people like do background research and try to learn things for themselves while others call for help for the most trivial details. No matter how much documentation or the avenues for accessing information there will always be users who ask questions first. Such developers will always be more visible in a community like this, but it doesn't mean they make up the bulk of the community.
