OK, but how can they earn merit within the ASF? With using the offical Apache-SO-tags? Sorry, but can you explain how this might work. I have no imagination (this is not polemic, i really would like to know) >> SO as our user provider? Its not open enough for me. Call me an idiot. >> I agree email is lost and oldschool. But a company providing us closed >> source tools for such an important topic - no, thanks. > > Nobody is suggesting that, at least not in this thread. In my understanding it was proposed to "allow" PMCs to use SO as official communication channel. Am I wrong? Once projects are doing that, people will use SO more and more and migrate from the lists. Even when nobody has suggested to replace the ML with SO, it will finally happen. Or might happen. Cheers, Christian
