Firstly, thank you Robert and Jan, for considering my request. I'm glad that people on the mailing list have been responding so quickly to the technical questions I had too.
The time of leading contributors is most important, which is why StackOverflow (SO) has already taken care of the matter. Why else would it be the most thriving forum on the internet? Eg: When a person starts asking a new question, an algorithm shows similar questions to the person on-the-fly, so that they won't have to ask the same question and take up time of the leading contributors. Even if the question gets asked, users with sufficient privileges/reputation (http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/05/a-theory-of-moderation/) can mark the question as a duplicate and close it, so that someone else won't have to bother looking at it. Even without logging in, you can click on the OpenSceneGraph tag on SO and it'll show you with customized icons, which questions need your attention and which have already been answered satisfactorily. There's also the RSS feed and notifications (http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2012/05/revamped-notifications/). I promise you, you'll be saving a lot more time. Jan, seriously, I (am humbly mentioning that I) tend to be efficient when it comes to using a search tool, and there's good reason I'm recommending SO's voted up answers. It's because even with Google's indexing, I've found it arduous to search for answers in a forum and even to have to follow a long discussion until I could decide that I could actually contribute to that thread. SO does away with all these problems. Those of you who value your time, I'd humbly recommend that you join SO just to see what it is like, and maybe help out people with ordinary C++ questions and see how things work until you get a reputation of 100 points at least. Perhaps then, you yourself might recommend SO. I'm glad y'all were willing to discuss it instead of flatly shooting it down. If you prefer the mailing list, then no problem. I'm also happy to be using the forum. ------------------ Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=48306#48306 _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
