@Heroku: How about some help here?

2011-12-23 Thread djangst
@Heroku,

This may not be intended as an official support channel, but how about
assigning someone to hang out here and answer questions? Many
questions here go unanswered, and that isn't only recently.

Even if the answer is just to read the documentation, or contact
Support directly, or Sorry, can't help with that one, it's better
than nothing.

It looks bad. Don't you guys have a bunch of money now? ;)

There are some heroku staffers who dip in and out every now and then answering 
stuff when necessary but the bulk of questions get answered.

I dare say a lot of stuff on here ends up in the Heroku support system, or 
elsewhere such as StackOverflow.

But where should Heroku draw the line - should they also hang out on 
Stackoverflow?  Should they also hang out in IRC 24/7?  There's only so much 
resource, and that's focused on the direct customer support channel as far as I 
can see.

I have seen many responses from Heroku in the past.

 You answer questions here, but the lack of responses from Heroku is
 noticeable.
 
 I can't imagine there's a no response policy to get people to move
 questions into the support system, but if there were, it's a bad
 tactic.

No, but they should hang out on their own mailing list! I haven't gone
back far enough to know for sure, but it does seem that most questions
go unanswered.

For a company of their size and importance, the lack of responses here
over a period of years is _very_ noticeable, especially when compared
with other commercial entities (remember, this isn't an open source
shop or technology--the business world has different standards).
