Good point on the marking of closed. Critical part. If we wanted to be really
lame, closed could be a tag. But right, something like that is critical.
What sucks is sometimes I read mailing list mails from users, but don't have
time to answer them just then and then of course I forget about t
I guess I'd ignore the 'edit' part and avoid the issue completely. It would
also make it hard to do as simple metadata around a plain email.
For me tagging and voting and (i forgot) the marking the question answered
(thanks, Benson) are the parts I would love.
I write some really good response
I don't think it's the tagging and voting. It's the ease of finding
and tracking unanswered questions.
When someone posts a message to one of the busy user(s)@ lists, they
have only so much chance of snagging the attention of someone
qualified to answer. If they get lost in the wash, the question
There is another factor that comes into play. QA sites like SO also blend
in wiki and trust mechanisms. Thus, highly rated users can and do rewrite
questions to be more answerable/understandable. They can also rewrite
answers if necessary.
Without automated karma, the moderation function has to

In my opinion, it's completely wrong-headed to imagine that there's
any barrier to any PMC choosing to open a simple beachhead on SO and
posting a link like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/caliper
on their web presence.
The arguments here are reasons why a PMC might choose to put more or

I doubt. SO will absorb the ASF user community.

it in the archive, but if someone could bump one of the threads so I can jump
in that'd be great.

Hi All
There's been the odd bit of discussion around StackOverflow on various lists,
but I thought this was probably the best place to discuss things.
Firstly, I want to make clear that I'm not suggesting we abandon all our user
lists, and shift everything over to stackoverflow!
However, fo
No discussion at the ASF is complete until we have had it twice.
A month or so ago, there was a lengthy thread about stackoverflow.com
on members@. It rather dribbled out.
Recently, someone re-stirred that pot, and Nick Burch recommended
