Benjamin, It's just that if I know the question is at SO, I'll click the link, see if you accepted an answer, and I'll decide to ignore the mailing list post, or confirm that the SO answer was the sane one, when you don't disclose that it's cross-posted, potentially you're wasting the SO member community's time (you get the right answer here), or our time (you already got the right answer there)
I absolutely believe in using the power of SO to write a good question with code highlighting, explaining things in detail, and having a point of reference for your query, then nipping to a mailing list or IRC, or whatever - tell them the question comes with code samples, and logs/etc - and it's at SO…. I quite like that model, it means i can earn some SO rep and have something in return for all the time invested answering support queries :) I don't want to chastise you too heavily, it's a slightly obscure point of view that I hold, but it encourages me to discontinue the Capistrano group, and close the GH issues tracker (not your fault, but 50% of all queries are "how does ssh work" / "my deployment doesn't work") -- community maintainership and support take up 80% of the time I can spend working on Capistrano, and if another community already had the chance to help people, it would free me to work on improvements. - Lee On Tuesday, May 22, 2012 at 2:55 AM, Benjamin Moses Lieb wrote: > @lee > > I'm sorry to have offended you.
