StackExchange alternative on ask.koha-community.org
Hi all! Following StackOverflow sites like askubuntu.com or ask.libreoffice.org, I wonder what you think about using an open source alternative like Askboot (or OSQA, or Coordino) on ask.koha-community.org. For English <http://ask.koha-community.org/en/>ask.koha-community.org/en/, es/ for Spanish, and so on; using the same login as other Koha services like the wiki. I think it's a much better way to solve mortals most common issues. Regards, Pablo Bianchi *Related links* http://area51.stackexchange.com/faq http://coordino.com/ http://www.osqa.net/ https://askbot.com/

Do you propose replacing the lists in favor of an opensource stackoverflow or something like that? Could you elaborate on the benefits of such a move? Regards To+

I'm open to the idea of it, but I would like to know where the volunteers to manage it would come from and how it would interact with the other lists, web forums and social network outposts that we already have.

I know is a big move. I just want to know what does the community think. I think will just complement, not replace the list. A lot of people isn't familiar with this approach, but for others... Some of the benefits are known: easier to find the answer to problems, analyze "hot" issues, easier recognition to the ones who help more, etc. You know I'm proud to have created the Spanish community group, and I don't think this could (nor should) replace it, but it seems to me is matter of time this kind of tool to be used in such a big project like Koha :)
