Some hopefully-useful comments: Overall, I am not sure why the project is running this server. I think we > are spreading ourselves pretty thin here. There is also: > - https://groups.google.com/g/sage-support > - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/sage > 50 questions in last 6 months - thankfully, not as many about the Sage ERP software as in the past - so nowhere near the volume of ask.sagemath? But see below.
> - https://stackexchange.com/search?q=sage > - https://mathoverflow.net/search?q=sage > negligible Also https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/sagemath - 50 questions in the past 18 months. Though I haven't had time to contribute to any of these regularly since somewhat before the pandemic, my observations are twofold on this: 1) The same people were helping on both the SE sites and ask.sagemath 2) The response time and quality (and number of answers) were all better on ask.sagemath It's possible this has changed recently, but more likely it is just that some of the networking issues have made it less reliable, but haven't improved service on the other sites. Contributors to answers have liked ask.sagemath. I do notice that ask.sagemath has for some time only reported "0 years ago" for recent questions - I don't think the askbot developer (https://askbot.com) has been super productive lately and of course we don't have the ability to support that software as well as Sage itself. That seems to be more of a sticking point, though I think Thierry and Samuel will have some relevant comments on that. As for sage-support, it's always surprising to me how many "customers" simply disappear as soon as you mention asking a question there - somehow they either want a Q&A site, or to ask on Facebook, or whatever. I don't really know why this happens, but clearly the Q&A sites (in toto) are necessary. Finally, to anticipate a question that has come up in the past on this issue, I had previously inquired with a SE employee about transferring data, and it seems it's not really a viable option. (As a very tangential note, one could make a similar observation about Trac versus GH/GL - could one take all those very useful discussions and import them?) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
