Hi all,
At CoCEU 2024, we talked about installing an Apache Answer[1] instance
common to all Apache Software Foundation. Is there some progress in this
direction or did the suggestion never reach any official channel?
Personally I would really like to have an ASF equivalent of
StackOverflow Collectives[2]. Collectives is a premium service for
communities provided by StackOverflow that adds the following features
to SO:
1. It recognizes the merit that each participant has in its own
community, e.g. in our case it could clearly mark the answers provided
by a PMC member or committer.
2. It provides statistics about each community, so we can also know how
many experts in ASF technologies are there, even those that never
reported a bug or contributed to the project.
Unfortunately, SO Collectives is exclusively a commercial service. About
two years ago I reached out to SO, to ask if they can open a Collective
for Apache Logging Services, so if the ASF is interested, I could share
in private the exact figures I received at that time and some contacts
in SO.
As far as I have seen, Apache Answer could be an answer (pun intended)
to the needs above.
