| Nov 16, 2010 at 0:33 | comment | added | Lemon Bacon | @Jan Fabry " I was originally thinking more of those that don't have dedicated support channels" agreed that makes a lot of sense | |
| Nov 14, 2010 at 0:59 | comment | added | MikeSchinkel Mod | @Jan Fabry "Imagine if wp-hackers would get no support mails, only, you know, hacker discussion..." It would seem that it would be Nirvana for those on the hackers list who would don't want to field support questions... | |
| Nov 14, 2010 at 0:57 | comment | added | MikeSchinkel Mod | @Jan Fabry - Sorry for my lack of clarity in those words. I meant I would do whatever I could to be helpful if he would host (some of) his plugin's support here on WordPress answers. | |
| Nov 13, 2010 at 12:35 | comment | added | Jan Fabry | Also, maybe Denis and Ash may be "too advanced" for moving (everything) to Stack Overflow. They invested in shaping their support channels, they built a community. I was originally thinking more of those that don't have dedicated support channels, and are a bit overwhelmed by questions they get via mail, comments on blog posts (finding anything in a discussion with 300 comments is impossible), and the WP.org forums. They will get the most advantage from "endorsing" this site as their "most official" (= most looked at) support channel. | |

Interesting: when the maintainers of the Guave library announced they would deprecate the mailing lists for support in favor of Stack Overflow, they gave guidelines on where to post new content. Some belongs on SO, some on the ticket tracker, some should stay on the mailing list. Imagine if wp-hackers would get no support mails, only, you know, hacker discussion...

| Nov 13, 2010 at 12:17 | comment | added | Jan Fabry | @MikeSchinkel: "I would support you and your customer's use of the forum": do you mean their use of Stack Overflow or of Denis' original forum? | |
| Nov 12, 2010 at 8:46 | comment | added | MikeSchinkel Mod | @Denis - I really appreciate your honest evaluation for us all to appreciate. Speaking for only me, I would support you and your customer's use of the forum 110% if not more. I will bend over backwards to support you; if you need my help just ask. | |
| Nov 11, 2010 at 18:38 | comment | added | Denis de Bernardy | I've added a sticky thread in my forum, inviting users to give WPA a try and reporting back on how they feel about the idea. | |

@Denis: Correction, pre-tagging already works! The parameter is tags, you separate with +, like this: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/ask?tags=semiologic+auto-thickbox

| Nov 11, 2010 at 18:10 | comment | added | Jan Fabry | @Denis: The final issue is a bit harder, since this format is indeed not suited to "sticky" announcements, but also not for socializing and more general questions like "what should be in the next version of X?" For these things a forum is still a better format than Stack Exchange, which was also said when AskUbuntu launched, but not to replace the Ubuntu forums. You could probably move the "announcements" to a separate news feed on your site that is also displayed in your plugin. | |

@Denis: 1) The auto-tag thing should be possible, even if only with a site-specific Javascript. 2) Becoming a huge tag will not be a problem, Stack Overflow has a majority of .Net questions, but other languages have no problem "surviving" there. You can always place [semiologic] on your ignored tag list if you don't want to see them. 3) I don't think the three example questions are invalid. Maybe a bit subjective, but we also have [plugin-recommendation] which could be considered subjective. 4) If a question belongs on Meta it will be migrated there without much effort.
