(trying this again since I can't keep straight which address to use for posting) Agreed. Summarizing some discussion from IRC here... We decided at some point (Budapest or Bristol-the-First) that we wanted to try to deprecate plone-users and move over to StackOverflow, with the idea that StackOverflow was: well-moderated did a good job of preventing the same question being asked weekly gave the rest of the world more exposure to Plone and Plone to the rest of the world (mainly more access to other Python devs). less ephemeral, more googleable than mailing lists Plone-users never quite died because people wanted to be able to have general discussions that didn't get moderated out by Stack Overflow. Doing some math (with thanks to pwrentch for the numbers), of 2,249 questions tagged 'Plone', 44 have been closed, which works out to 1.9%, and most of those have answers anyway. So I don't know that the off-topic issue is a particularly big deal. So in a "Plone needs to evangelize more" respect, SO-proper gives us exposure to people who wouldn't otherwise see us, SO-Plone gives us a shiny "We have our own StackOverflow site". Is one of these more valid than the other? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
