It raises the question about the
possibility of moving ROS Answers
to StackExchange, but unfortunately it didn't
get many answers. It is mentioned, that "our"
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).
I'm still curious why we actually created
our own Q&A site and/or why we don't move
our site over to StackExchange.
I see the following benefits in case of
migrating:
* less(no) maintenance work
* ROS gets more visible (and thereby
attracting more users)
* convenient for people already using other
StackExchange sites, such as StackOverflow
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). Thank you!
I think having a site that's ROS-specific decreases
the noise, and helps the community support itself more
efficiently. I don't think it would be a good idea to
try to merge ROS answers with another support site,
especially one as generic as "robotics".
Sorry guys, seems like I didn't make myself clear enough.
My intention is _NOT_ merging ROS Answers into another
existing Q&A site, such as StackOverflow (
http://stackoverflow.com/)
or Robotics (mentioned in the other thread).
I suggest moving our Q&A to StackExchange (
http://stackexchange.com/),
which is an aggregation of various Q&A sites all sharing
the same underlying system (software as far as I understand).
So, we would still have our own, ROS-only Q&A site.
Cheers,
Marcus
