We've also done some clustering of ASF Archives (See MAHOUT-588) that could
show similar items, potentially. I've often thought it would be cool to
automatically classify email as to the expertise level required (which could
also be done w/ Mahout) and I've always wanted our Mailing List manage
A student popped up a while ago on the Mahout mailing with a very nice
little magic program that would sift through email archives to find good
question/answer pairs in email threads.
The results were quite impressively good. The program didn't find a lot of
pairs, but the pairs it did find were

Good point on the marking of closed. Critical part. If we wanted to be really
lame, closed could be a tag. But right, something like that is critical.
What sucks is sometimes I read mailing list mails from users, but don't have
time to answer them just then and then of course I forget about t
I guess I'd ignore the 'edit' part and avoid the issue completely. It would
also make it hard to do as simple metadata around a plain email.
For me tagging and voting and (i forgot) the marking the question answered
(thanks, Benson) are the parts I would love.
I write some really good response
I don't think it's the tagging and voting. It's the ease of finding
and tracking unanswered questions.
When someone posts a message to one of the busy user(s)@ lists, they
have only so much chance of snagging the attention of someone
qualified to answer. If they get lost in the wash, the question
There is another factor that comes into play. QA sites like SO also blend
in wiki and trust mechanisms. Thus, highly rated users can and do rewrite
questions to be more answerable/understandable. They can also rewrite
answers if necessary.

In my opinion, it's completely wrong-headed to imagine that there's
any barrier to any PMC choosing to open a simple beachhead on SO and
posting a link like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/caliper
on their web presence.
The arguments here are reasons why a PMC might choose to put more or

Do you really think you will adobe the SO community into the ASF community?
I doubt. SO will absorb the ASF user community.
