I guess one would have to clarify what is and isn't possible with the data. I'm guessing they are trying to scare people/entities away from trawling SO and repackaging it into another inko/knowledgebase offering. That having been said, there is a SO clone that was developed by the folks at biostars.org which is an OSS StackOverflow "clone" https://github.com/ialbert/biostar-central Someone would just need to host it, though. Given SO's critical mass, though, I think it's hard to argue against simply using that. -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Computational Biologist Genentech ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
