Sure. If some other Magnolia forum users have more points to add, please do so!
- StackEchange forums save as drafts your questions & answers you are writing them. see http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/1177/allow-questions-to-be-saved-as-drafts-prior-to-posting - Note that this very answer was "lost" when I tried to first post it. It took me ten to fifteen minutes to write my answer & when I posted it I was prompted a 500 page. Luckily I know this "bug?" & remembered to copy it in my clipboard before hitting "post". - Questions, Answers & Comments. - Comments are here to help providing better interactions between users without "poluting" the questions & answers themselves with discussions. Comments can also however provide great insight on the solution provided, links to similar subjects, & so on. - vote questions, answers & comments up or down (similar to a digg) - edit questions & answers (similar to a wiki) - the 2 features mentioned above aim at filtering high-quality sources of questions/answers - Users can earn reputation points & "badges" (kind of gamification of the traditional Q&A site or forum) - Advanced moderation: ie. a user with a specific set of badges or who has more than a given number of repitation points can be automatically granted some moderation abilities - edit other users' questions/answers if you have the required permissions - review edits, questions flagged & so on. - Tags: questions can be tagged to help users & search engines find things more easily - Notifications: you are notified when someone answers to your question, leave a comment, up/down vote your question/answer, edit your question/answer, when you earn a badge, & so on. - Notifications from other StackEchange forums are all centralized. So if you're logged on SO, you'll also see notifications from our potential SE's Magnolia CMS. - No Emails: you will receive no emails, your mailbox is probably full of spams, right? - "Similar questions" feature: when entering a question, related questions will be dynamically prompted just above the edit area. It'll help you double check you're not creating a duplicate and if not it may help you link to related questions to help find an answer more quickly - Advanced editing features: Stack Exchange engine uses Markdown for questions and answers. Per the Markdown spec, you are allowed to freely intermix HTML and Markdown tags. see http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/1777/what-html-tags-are-allowed-on-stack-exchange-sites - Editing "dynamic" preview: you see what your question will look like (below the input field) as you it type in. - Advanced search feature: use tags, your favorites, question score & so on, see http://stackoverflow.com/help/searching - log in: shared accross [url=http://stackexchange.com/sites#traffic]the StackExchange websites[/url]. More regarding reputation: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/7237/how-does-reputation-work The complete (long) FAQ for the StackExchange sites: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/7931/faq-for-stack-exchange-sites The list is long, StackExchange just got extremely good at Forums/FAQ websites. So we could simply take advantage of the free service provided. Magnolia would probably be more "out there" (visible) with such a forum, & the community would definitely have more fun using it. -- Context is everything: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/forum/thread.html?threadId=3159bdee-2ce9-4c00-8f6f-86dc2b8e0ab5 ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details, see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/community/mailing-lists.html Alternatively, use our forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
