If someone wants to go I agree that it's important, and I think some sort of QA site is a key piece. I just think that HyperKitty is more important right now (and also helps with the user community part). I think we really need to focus on getting that (and, as mentioned, Taskotron) into production, and once that's going we can build up other parts too. > the StackExchange route, it is feasible to do a cost evaluation of the > move vs implementing the features we need in Askbot.

We don't need to clone Stack Exchange, but in order to be successful in a similar way, we're _really_ far away. The entire notification system needs to be rebuilt. Same with flagging and moderation in general. This is a lot of work. -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure
