I really like stackoverflow . I visit it quite often to learn something new by browsing all questions. As suprising it may sound the questions interest me more than the answers because expose areas I am not familiar or aware of.
It also good idea to show people that there is an active interest in pharo but I think thats up to the people asking the questions. I dont think stackoverflow can and should replace the mailing lists but its still is a welcomed addition. By the way i tried to answer your git question. :) ________________________________ From: Sebastian Nozzi <[email protected]> To: A friendly place where any question about pharo is welcome <[email protected]>; A friendly place to get answers to even the most basic questions about Squeak. <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 3 December 2012, 14:14 Subject: [Pharo-users] Stackoverflow - for raising mindshare? Hello fellow Squeak/Pharo users, at work I find stack-overflow a quite valuable resource whenever I get stuck with something (Java, Ruby, Unix, etc.). What do you think about the idea of using it more, so that: - people starting with Smalltalk can find answers there apart from digging in the mailing-lists - raising the awareness/mind-share about open-source Smalltalk in the "outside world"? I for one will try to double-post my questions both in the corresponding mailing lists and stack-overflow, and whenever I find good information that might be helpful for newcomers, I'll try to post it there also. It might help attracting more people to open-source Smalltalk and gain more acceptance in the industry. Best regards, Sebastian
