As it is, we're directing people to Stack Overflow on the DevHub page for Support: https://marketplace.mozilla.org/developers/support Right now, however, we're pointing them to the web-applications tag which is *way* too broad. I agree that having one tag would be ideal, but I'm not sure if one tag will suffice. While firefox-os is a great tag for questions that are specific to Firefox OS, I wonder if there's a better tag we could apply for app development questions in general. Looking at the questions tagged with firefox-os, some of them are general app-related questions. It would be good if we could settle on a tag that we link to from the DevHub for app developers, not just Firefox OS users. Looking at the recipient list on this message, I do not want to create an 3 mailing list epic bikeshed color discussion on the topic of which tag(s) to use for Stack Overflow, but I agree with Jeff that we need to quickly settle in to a structure that we can support. If you have thoughts on this or *want* to be a part of the bikeshedding, please email me directly and we can run through it off list[1]. Kevin [1] My intent here is not to be exclusive...
