Hello Apache Pulsar Community, Many of us community members were having a conversation about Slack and how it is not working very well as a tool to answer questions from the wider community and we should try to push more of the questions to Stack Overflow.
We would like to suggest- 1. Add a link to stack overflow to the contact page of the website: https://pulsar.apache.org/en/contact/ 2. Add text to the webpage stating that we recommend that if you have a technical question, please ask it on Stack Overflow 3. On Slack, we encourage them to post their question to Stack Overflow Reasons: - We are on the free version of Slack and thus all questions/answers before the middle of June are lost (10k messages max). - We answer the same question over and over. - We want to make it easier for our community to find the answers. - Developers expect answers to be on Stack Overflow - It is easier to copy and paste an error message into Google and if it has been posted to Stack Overflow, then the questioner will find the answer quickly. - Slack is not searchable by Google, plus we won’t lose the question/answer after 5 weeks Thoughts? Thanks, Aaron Williams
