Re: [appengine-java] Reminder: Google App Engine community support is moving to Stack Overflow

2012-03-08 Thread Jeff Schnitzer
I find that you're either one of those people who lives on
StackOverflow or you're one of those people who only visits when
they're searching for something specific.  I'm the later myself; I
can't "follow" SO the way I follow an email list.  Truth be told, I
have the google-appengine list and the google-appengine-java list both
dumped to a common label in gmail, so combining the mailing lists
really makes no difference to me.  Actually it improves the situation,
since most discussions really end up being GAE-general.

But yeah, SO is tough to "follow".  I'm not sure it's really all that
useful to try.

Thanks Amy,

It's weird.  Here's what worked.

[google-app-engine] +java
then sort by newest

Here's what didn't work

[google-app-engine] java
because the site changed it to [google-app-engine] [java]
BUT many posts are not tagged as java though they contained java in
the post which is what I was looking for but not showing up

Thanks for your help.

Shawn,

You might try searching on the tags specifically.  E.g. try:
 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-app-engine+java
This should bring up a list sorted by (by default) newest first, though you
can change the sort via the tabs at the top of the page.

When you're searching, you can specify a tag by putting it in square
brackets. E.g. if you search for:
 [google-app-engine] [java] spring
this will retrieve questions tagged with [google-app-engine] and [java],
and containing 'spring'.

I still don't get it.

searching pulls up results that are seemingly unordered by time

using a Stack Overflow filter (to notify by email or display current
results) doesn't find "java" related posts.

YUCK.

It'd be nice to be able to just follow the java version especially
when a new release come out with it's inevitable problems.  It helps
me pin down what might be wrong.  Also, do we need to have to follow
two lists ...

Maybe I'll get used to it.  I hate it for now.

I don't understand how to get java specific questions.  It's not
useful and a huge waste of time to have to sort through the python
stuff for me.  This sucks and it seems like google is losing it's mojo
if it takes the natural categories and lumps them into one less useful
one.

[appengine-java] Reminder: Google App Engine community support is moving to Stack Overflow

2012-03-05 Thread Amy Unruh
Hi App Engine Developers,

As we announced last month on this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/67a5cdffae1c03bc/,
we are migrating to Stack Overflow (http://stackoverflow.com) as the
official channel for answering Java and Python development questions about
Google App Engine. The Python and Java App Engine groups will be placed
into read-only mode tomorrow (6th March).   The google-appengine group (<
http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine>) will remain open for
general discussions and announcements that are better suited for the groups
format.

For those who missed this previous thread, it's probably useful to skim
through it for a more detailed discussion about why we believe this
transition to Stack Overflow for development questions will be an
improvement for App Engine developers.
>From the thread, here is Ikai's original announcement:
  http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/msg/5d70b842714efd25
and here is a bit more amplification from Greg D'Alesandre, an App Engine
Senior Product Manager:
  http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/msg/cf9183d4af1c36e6

If you are new to Stack Overflow, here are a few useful links:

Questions tagged with 'google-app-engine':
  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-app-engine

Some of the top users (i.e., question-answerers) for the SO app engine tag:
  http://stackoverflow.com/tags/google-app-engine/topusers
and a bit more info on some of them:
 http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/msg/198422648752b9b6

You can subscribe to Stack Overflow tags via email:
  http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/12/subscribe-to-tags-via-emai/
 and grab rss feeds for tags, e.g.:
  http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag?tagnames=google-app-engine&sort=newest

And then there is Andrin's great app for pulling SO feeds into mailing
lists, to let you get new questions and answers in your mail client.
See:
 http://stack-over-mail.appspot.com
and in particular, subscribe to
  http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-stackoverflow  (
google-appengine-stackoverf...@googlegroups.com)
[You can add new tags as well].

Here is a Chrome extension for tracking new questions on a Stack Overflow
tag:
