RE: RE: Toad on StackExchange

yes,  I meant the Toad topic,  not the Toad product   :)
sorry if I scared anyone.

experts-exchange (sigh, that's old joke)  just revamped their look 
recently

I've been using the site for the past few years so I'm still getting used 
to it.
but if I take away where I know stuff "used" to be, the new design is 
pretty simple.

RE: [toad] RE: Toad on StackExchange






I assume you mean "absorbed into Oracle discussion on some stack exchange
site"? Not "TOAD the product getting absorbed by Oracle" the company?

There is no Oracle specific area in the Stack Exchange group of sites. And
personally I find the expert sex change site very hard to navigate, and
annoying. Personal opinion of course :-)

I wonder if Toad will simply get absorbed into Oracle?  How well will it
really stand on its own? 
I know, Toad isn't just for Oracle anymore but that's what it's best known
for. 

I've answered a lot of Toad questions under the Oracle zones at
Experts-Exchange (similar name, but unrelated company)

Good stuff! I hope we get enough momentum to get approved. I'll do my 
part. 
 
For those who have never used one of the Stack Exchange sites out, have a
look at all the sites they host:- 
 
http://stackexchange.com/sites <http://stackexchange.com/sites> 
 
The basic method is that someone asks a question, and then other uses 
answer
questions. Anyone can vote on the answers provided. That means that the
answer that the community thinks best answers the question is, after some
time, up the top of the page. People can have discussions on both the
questions and answers as well. Coming to the site you can search the
questions to see if what you're about to ask has already been answered. 
 
Further details on usage is described here:- 
 
http://stackexchange.com/about <http://stackexchange.com/about>

Subject: [toad] Toad on StackExchange 
 
 
Mike McAllister had the idea of giving Toad a presence on StackExchange. 
 
So I investigated it, and created a proposal for a new site there for us.
It is an involved process, and not easily achieved. It's designed that way
for obvious reasons. 
 
Here is the link for the proposal I created:

<
http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/38255/toad-for-oracle?referrer=lF

N8JdBWpjl-6tc1Qmy_ZQ2> 
 
If you wish to help advertise for this proposal on a website, here is the
text to use:

Now it is up to you guys.
