Good point about unanswered SO questions. +1 that we need to improve a situation there.
Yes, we may try to stream them to a new dedicated list but it will require people here to subscribe to and check regularly one more list which perhaps won’t be so efficient as well. I believe that a digest of the N latest unanswered questions to dev@ (or to user@? or both?) every 3-4 days should be a better option. — Alexey > On 17 Aug 2022, at 04:42, Chamikara Jayalath via dev <dev@beam.apache.org> > wrote: > > Hi folks, > > It seems like many of the questions posted to StackOverflow with the > apache-beam tag [1] go unanswered or take more than they should to receive an > acceptable answer. > > What do you all think about creating a new mailing list, > stackoverf...@beam.apache.org <mailto:stackoverf...@beam.apache.org> > (assuming Apache Infra is OK with this and it's technically feasible to do > so), where notifications regarding such questions will be forwarded to ? > > This should allow folks who are interested in answering related questions to > get notified early.
