"Do we really need a site for each individual content management system?"
It's interesting that CMS specific sites were even proposed. In my experience (mostly with the Drupal community) CMS advocates tend to be pretty tribal and desire a narrow focus. A cross-CMS Stack Exchange site would probably seem like it was full of noise to everyone involved. What would deemed to be signal VS noise would depend entirely on one's CMS of choice.
- staunch 16y agoMy first reaction as well. If that's true though, how do we explain that Stack Overflow itself has done so well? People are at least as tribal about languages.
- psadauskas 16y agoI program professionally in Ruby, Javascript, Erlang, and some Java. Add in the pieces of each, HAML, JQuery, GWT, and the languages I like reading about, such as Haskell and Lua, and thats a good % of SO. It would be much more annoying if it was separate sites. Also, lots of info about most languages is useful, even to other languages. I imagine its much less so for CMSs.
