[Lift] Lift on Stack Overflow
I gathered some stats on number of question by tag: java x 30950 asp.net x 26451 php x 24854 asp.net-mvc x 8670 ruby-on-rails x 8513 ruby x 6620 -- just to contrast with ruby-on-rails django x 4550 flash x 3828 silverlight x 3365 spring x 1468 forms x 1339 jsp x 1326 wordpress x 1004 j2ee x 844 gwt x 779 grails x 763 SCALA x 698 coldfusion x 686 groovy x 607 -- just to contrast with grails That's from the first 5 pages of tags, and I'm left out forks from the main tag, such as php5. lift is on page 43, with, coincidentally, 43 questions. There's also lift-1.1 with 2 questions. (PS, I noticed one of the questions tagged Lift has nothing whatsoever to do with it -- I'll be editting that question to remove that tag). I worry that the visibility of Lift is is way below that of other frameworks, particularly when one takes into account that Rails and Grails have more questions than Ruby and Groovy respectively. Also, the answer rate on these questions is not very good. I think visibility on Stack Overflow is important, so I ask you to consider dedicating a little bit of time to it. Questions tagged with Lift can be found with the link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/lift. One can also get RSS, for newest questions http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag?tagnames=liftsort=newest, or active questions (recent activity) http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag?tagnames=liftsort=hot. -- Daniel C.

Re: [Lift] Lift on Stack Overflow
My 2 cents (and maybe this is 'cause I'm an old guy), but I don't see the value of supporting yet another Lift support forum. This list is highly visible and the folks on this list of very helpful. The list is searchable (although not taggable). We don't do support on Twitter. We don't officially do support on IRC (although a fair number of Lift committers hang out there). We try to keep the energy and focus on this mailing list. Please tell me what the advantage to Stack Overflow is vs. a list like this one? What kind of better experience would the asker of a question have on Stack Overflow?

Re: [Lift] Lift on Stack Overflow
StackOverflow tends to be peer to peer IMO; I dont believe that MUST be committers or whatever, as DPP says, this is the official forum, if other users or committers use stack overflow, then sure, but i doubt I'll be hanging out there massively.

Re: [Lift] Lift on Stack Overflow
What would be really neat is if someone would make a Lift app that would be a front end for this mailing list, and add the ability to organize threads into categories, and tag them, etc. :) - Timothy Perretttimo...@getintheloop.eu wrote: StackOverflow tends to be peer to peer IMO; I dont believe that MUST be committers or whatever, as DPP says, this is the official forum, if other users or committers use stack overflow, then sure, but i doubt I'll be hanging out there massively.

Re: [Lift] Lift on Stack Overflow
As someone who answers questions, I prefer email because of the unified inbox. I can organize many things in a single location and refer to them easily. (I know I can use RSS with SO but I have yet to find a satisfying way to organize question feeds into my existing stream of emails) As someone who looks for or simply reads answers (I've never asked a question on SO yet), I prefer the experience of Stack Overflow. The answers are ranked, organized, filtered, etc. The main drawback for me there is there's possibly too much stuff that draws me away from actual work ;) alex On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 11:55 AM, Timothy Perrett timo...@getintheloop.euwrote: StackOverflow tends to be peer to peer IMO; I dont believe that MUST be committers or whatever, as DPP says, this is the official forum, if other users or committers use stack overflow, then sure, but i doubt I'll be hanging out there massively.
