<div>The recent notification about a robotics Q&amp;A site on StackExchange made me remember an old question on ROS answers: <a href="http://answers.ros.org/question/12386/is-ros-answer-able-to-join-stackexchange/" target="_blank">http://answers.ros.org/question/12386/is-ros-answer-able-to-join-stackexchange/</a></div>




<div><br></div><div>It raises the question about the possibility of moving ROS Answers to StackExchange, but unfortunately it didn&#39;t get many answers. It is mentioned, that &quot;our&quot; site is not compatible with StackExchange and that some people are not happy with how things are handled over at StackExchange (e.g. user control).</div>




<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m still curious why we actually created our own Q&amp;A site and/or why we don&#39;t move our site over to StackExchange.</div><div>I see the following benefits in case of migrating:</div><div>* less(no) maintenance work </div>

<div>* ROS gets more visible (and thereby attracting more users)</div><div>* convenient for people already using other StackExchange sites, such as StackOverflow</div><div><br></div><div>If this has already been discussed in the past, please point me to the respective information (and/or write a corresponding answer on ROS answers).

<div></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div></div>I think having a site that&#39;s ROS-specific decreases the noise, and helps the community support itself more efficiently. I don&#39;t think it would be a good idea to try to merge ROS answers with another support site, especially one as generic as &quot;robotics&quot;.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
