my thoughts: Mailing List seems an excellent idea .. when you have time in the group realizes that mdipierro answers most questions ... looks great and sincerely thank him personally. my language is Spanish and sometimes do not understand the emails from this list and why I use a translator lol B

This group I can manage and there are lots of skilled people here. I can definitively use more support outside this group. I would be happy to use something custom made instead of the group but I would need some assurance that it is maintained professionally, long term, and disaster recovery plan i

Even as I was writing my last reply, I was steadily coming up with more reasons for sticking with Google Groups and not moving to Stack Overflow. It seems I find my own previous arguments a bit underwhelming. I'd still like to see something similar to SO written in web2py. I'd like to get around

And yeah on second thoughts about what Michael said, while it can be argued that sheer exclusivity, might stunt the growth of web2py(which even I was thinking), I guess there are other ways to spread the word too... On Sat, Sep 18, 2010 at 10:24 AM, bally boy wrote: > I am with Massimo on one t

I am with Massimo on one thing, not to scatter information all around.As a platform although both Stack Overflow and Stack exchange are great and better than google mailing lists but it does invite a lot of uninvited guests who actually know nothing. For eg: - let us say someone puts up a post ask

I understand your concern, Massimo. However, I think the solution is not to ignore SO, but to try to get more knowledgeable web2py users answering questions there. You will still have general knowledge folks answering web2py questions, but the voting system should leave their answers at the botto

StackExchange is designed such that people who don't know what they're talking about get voted down, while those who have quality answers get voted up to the top. When I'm reading StackOverflow, the reading the highest-voted questions first makes the poor quality of the lower- voted questions very

I oppose and here is why. A few people have asked web2py related questions on stack overflow. Almost all of them have at least one generic answer by somebody who knows nothing about web2py. On Stack overflow there is no sense of community (other than the stack overflow community) and people try to

My vote: - ask questions on StackOverflow using the existing web2py tag - follow the questions using this RSS feed: http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/web2py I like StackOverflow a lot and I think it is a much better interface than Google Groups. I asked my first few questions about web2py on S

I do not have a strong opinion but if people like it I do not oppose. I just hope that we do not scatter info over many pages. google groups has served us well but the search capability is not good. On Sep 16, 6:31 am, Narendran wrote: > Hello all, > I personally like stackoverflow's UI, as it al
