IMO, LE will draw traffic away from LQ.org. Which would be a shame since there is already a atrong community there (in the forums I read) |
Just a question out of curiosity - why a steamexchange site rather that something open source like OSQA? (For that matter why not something like phpBB or other open source forum rather than vBulletin, nice at it is?)
|
We'll actually be moving LE off the SE platform and onto something Open Source in the midterm future. I'm not aware of any Open Source forum platform that's a viable alternative for LQ (and certainly none were around when I founded LQ in 2000). Keep in mind that LQ does rely heavily on Drupal, MediaWiki and many other Open Source solutions.

Jeremy - this is your site, you owe me nothing. Best of luck with both sites. |
I must admit that it takes a bit to get used to this forum, BUT when you do, it can be a blessing and certainly MOST informative. It was overwhelming at first but easily adaptable. At least to techy types anyway.

I thought cooperation not competition was the key to FLOSS and Linux ...
Well, either way good luck with it, I don't think I'll be able to get used to style of that site, it looks more like a blog. |
I must also disagree, competition is one erratic concept that strangles our societies. It does not serve for fast improvement. To the contrary, it makes everyone invent the wheel themselves.

Problem is that everyone is stuck at 1 point. Can't vote answers up. So we continue to circle around at 1 point waiting for someone to upvote so we get enough to upvote, so the thing can take off. Needs owner/moderator with plenty of points to start reading questions and answers and do the initial upvoting to give it life.
I like the stackoverflow q&a approach for fast solutions. |
hgriggs, we just took the site out of bootstrap mode (which greatly reduced the need for reputation points). If it's the case where there are not enough active users participating, we can enable it again.

Ah, I didn't realise there was a bootstrap mode. Interesting. Never mind. It will take on momentum. I was just being impatient.
|
I've re-enabled bootstap mode with the intention of disabling it permanently on 5/9/2010.
