- papachito 17y agoI agree, but we're not in the business of growing a Q&A site about programing, we're in the business of allowing anyone to start their own Q&A site about any subject, using their own server or ours.
- dcu 17y agothats why you chose the AGPL license! ;)
- papachito 17y agoExactly. What matters in a Q&A site like shapado is not the features, it's the community. So we might as well share the features and make it the best Q&A platform as possible so we can focus on growing our own communities on it.
- jfi 17y agopapachito, sorry if my curt response came off as anything other than positive. I was just adding a link to a past Atwood article pointing out that the technology is not the emphasis here, but it is rather the building of a community lead by dedicated and passionate leaders. Giving others a platform and tools to do this is commendable!
- papachito 17y agoThanks :)
- mistermann 17y agoMaybe the title of this post is misleading....you guys are not "taking on" stackoverflow, you're actually taking on "stackexchange", such that it is cheaper, and also doesn't suck? Duplicating SO makes no sense to me, duplicating SE makes a lot of sense to me.
- papachito 17y agoI agree, though for the info I'm not the one who submitted and picked that title.
