I just want to say that this sounds like a really interesting product. Have you all considered making questions "publishable" in a way to public SO?
Plenty of times where a smaller company has a ton of internal knowledge that really needs to be on a public SO as they are common questions. It would be incredible to say, we'll let internal users ask questions here and then populate a public set of tags based on that for new/emerging products.
- benpopper1 6y agoGreat question. It's a feature request that comes up sometimes, but doing it by accident could be costly if we're talking about proprietary code. Having it in this format should make it easy to port Q&A over to the public site if a Team decides to make a certain project visible or open source.
- peytoncasper 6y agoThats fair, I'm just thinking for companies that back OSS projects. It can be hard to get those questions seeded even though they have been asked and answered a thousand times with their customers and internally by new hires.
- firebaze 6y agoHonest response: whenever I read "Great question" (followed either by a full stop or exclamation mark(worse)) my mind goes to "bullshit marketing speak follows" mode. Especially when the answerer disclosed their affinity to the entity in question, in this case stackoverflow. I have to work hard against this impulse to continue reading the actual answer.
