Ah, but SO wants "1500 reputation" for a new tag like 'nupic' ... [ Creating the new tag 'nupic' requires at least 1500 reputation. ]
Just tried to post a question, anyone has 1500 on SO already ?

The thing about getting a dedicated StackExchange section is that there needs to be ample evidence of interest first. The Area51 crew are not going to approve a NuPIC site without a large community of active supporters. I was planning on moving in this direction once we've grown a bit more. It's not easy to get an Area51 proposal into a SO site, for example, Arduino is still in the proposal stage (http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/58150/arduino). The best place to start is on the main stackoverflow site itself. How about this... There are no questions tagged with "nupic" at this point, which is great because we have an empty namespace to occupy: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/nupic I welcome anyone with a technical question about NuPIC to post it on http://stackoverflow.com with the tag "nupic". It would also be a good idea (at least initially) to post a link to your question on the mailing list until we built up enough steam on SO that it is consistently monitored by the community. Any volunteers? ---------Matt TaylorOS Community Flag-BearerNumenta On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 3:13 PM, Mark Wilson <[email protected]> wrote: A wiki is an awesome idea! Numenta, how about it? I think this is something that would benefit you too. I too have been struggling to get started. There is much you have to discover the hard way. For a Stackoverflow style of site, how about..... Stackoverflow! At least initially anyway. If that is popular then we could propose a nupic version at http://area51.stackexchange.com/ and get our own StackNupic. I definitely agree that this style of site is much more useful than trying to search mail lists. Let's start asking and answering questions there and see how it goes.

It seems that as the community grows the problem of being a good documentation and stuff which can help to learn NuPIC becomes more important. For example I personally resolved my problem of installing NuPIC just accidentally by getting an advice from one of friends. The solution was buried in depth of many posts and I didn’t aware about it. Now I have a very useful experience which could help other members. But where should I publish it to make it easy to get by them? If I write to the mailing list it may be the same case. Of course there are other great places — wiki, Youtube channel, but they have own limitations. So here is an idea to build some kind of a learning center (let’s call it “NLH” — NuPIC Learning Hub). Every member of community may contribute to NLH by adding own answers to questions which were asked by other members if he/she has a time and/or such a willing. Gradually those answers may form stuff for a comprehensive documentation for the NuPIC platform. It may be some single site or may be a section on Numenta.org (or some another place). Making a prototype of NLH is considered not a very sophisticated task so I can do it because web-development is my common job (of course if somebody wants to help me it will be great also). This is the idea in short. Speaking more detailed: I suggest there may be 2 main section. First is a “Documentation”, which is in essence the standard pages describing the platform, its methods, OPF and so on. Users can add comments to published stuff. There are lots of examples in the Net (consider php.net or something of this kind). Of course, the problem is that this demands enormous efforts (time in the first turn). So in order to make it much more easier there is a second sections which should look more like a Stackoverflow (of course it’s hardly to hope that it will have the same functionality from the very beginning, but I guess it isn’t necessary yet). I.e. any community member may leave own question while other members who possesses an answer may create it there. All the questions may be ranked by users who votes by a standard way (+/-). So after any question got an enough answers or rank it may be used as a basics for the “official” stuff in the “Documentation” sections. It means that Admin (Moderator and so on, there may be few of them) converts it to the article and places it in the section mentioned above. In that section may be “empty” articles, i.e. they have only a title, but have no content. However this title is a link to the page containing a question dedicated to the subject and answers added by community members (i.e. the second section). After an article being filled by stuff made of members’ answers there a link to the page which contained those answers to see the history of question will be added. So as a rule we have one of two things: an official article in the Doc section or “unofficial” page with the ranked question and answers (probably ranked also) to it. Of course, there may be lots of other interesting things and we can consider all of them after if the community will be interested by the idea. -- SY Sergey V.
