I agree with that. If using SO gets more visibility to Livecode, that's great but it's one more resource to add to the list of places to check.
I signed up for SO yesterday, created filters for Livecode and SQLite and requested a daily email summary of new activity. I haven't received an email yet but I don't know what time of the day they send them out. The daily email summary will be my way of keeping up to date with SO. If I'm looking for an answer to something, I'll add SO to my list of places to search before emailing the list. I also tried the RSS feed but all that did was to display an XML version of the feed in my browser (Chrome). I probably need to change some settings in Chrome to make it work, I guess.
