We do want to be running this, primarily because we want to provide an integrated platform that includes a bit more than just the Q&A site itself. We'd like to be able to integrate profiles across the Forge, a Q&A site and even the bug tracker. It would be great if you were on a Q&A site, asking questions about developing modules, and to be able to see that the person answering your question has published several awesome Puppet modules that are really popular. Vice versa, it would be great to be able to look at a module and see that the author is a highly engaged member of the community. So all in all, we do want to provide this as a service by us, and it's difficult to get that level of integration with StackExchange. I would like to point out that we've got a growing ServerFault community under the 'puppet' tag, and there are some great people answering Puppet questions there. This is clearly an even more pressing need than we'd been thinking, so we're going to try and accelerate this. -- Nigel Kersten Product Manager, Puppet Labs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
