You're right, however in this case: 1) If ZF dedicated site was set up, a group of moderators will be assigned with necessary permissions (probably "framework team" and CR team folks) 2) Other users can quickly gain rep by asking and answering questions. To _use_ the site you don't need 5000 reputation - just create free account and answer or ask your questions. After just a few answered (and upvoted) answers you get more and more permissions, but those are _not_ necessary for the whole site to fulfill its mission = serve end-users. The upside to a separate rep. system is that we'll keep score based on ZF-based knowledge, not "general programming", "shuffling arrays in pascal" or "killing a process in DB2" knowledge. A person with high score on ZF Q&A site = someone who's knowledgeable in the framework and helpful to others in this regard. I'm sure Tomas, with your experience, you'll rank up in no time :) This http://i.imgur.com/ijyf5.png sums up pretty well why I gave up on > SO.

We can always delete/moderate those questions and ban trolls, but those are also people. ML and IRC doesn't filter anyone automatically, it's always by someone's opinion on being OT or annoying or something. Novices also deserve support - even if in the form of removing their comments and sending them an URL of "ZF Quickstart". -- __ /.)\ +48 695 600 936 \(./ [email protected]
