While Q/A systems are great and have a great place to get information, I think a forum will fit better. And Discourse is a great system, but not meaned to work as a forum IMO.
I agree with A, but I would like to change it to forum.symfony.com (or help.symfony.com or something else). symfony-project is mostly related to the Symfony1 project, not the 2 project. -- Wouter J Op dinsdag 26 maart 2013 07:52:00 UTC+1 schreef Fabien Potencier het volgende: > > Hi all, > > Unfortunately and for no reasons, the Symfony2 mailing-list is gone for > the second time in a very short period of time.
