I don't think we really need to separate wiki from articles, when we moved
to the jboss.org infrastructure there was no real wiki solution so the
closest you had was articles which some are created once similar to a blog
but others were created to try and keep up to date so I think +1 for a wiki
to hold the immediately updatable content.
One issue with stackoverflow is everything must be in the format of a
question with answers in the format of an answer, added to that when you
ask a question you get more questions second guessing why you are asking
the question rather than providing an answer! It seems if we exclusively
use stackoverflow we don't have a suitable place for general discussion
unless you force them to be real time in Zulip or allow more general
discussion on the dev list. You mention moving developer discussion to
google groups, why not allow the same for user discussion?
I think it would be nice in general if we could find ways to encourage more
general discussion in the community spaces so it is not just a place to
visit with a question.
Presently blogs published to wildfly.org don't have an option for comments
or ongoing discussion, having a user space could allow for a discussion to
be started for a blog to allow ongoing collaboration.

Hello All,
We are in a position where we need to change the community space for
WildFly, currently located at https://developer.jboss.org/en/wildfly/. On
2020-03-1 this community space will become read-only.
We've got 3 areas we need to move.
1. Forums/Q&A
2. Wiki/FAQ
3. Articles
1. Forums/Q&A
My preference here is we would use Stack Overflow, specifically the wildfly
tag <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/wildfly>;. It seems the
forums is really more Q&A than anything.
If we want to keep the forum and Q&A separate we could use Stack Overflow
for the Q&A and Google Groups for the forum. Though I don't really see much
difference between the forum and Q&A.
2. Wiki/FAQ
For this we could use GitHub Wiki here. For details see
https://help.github.com/en/github/building-a-strong-community/about-wikis.
3. Articles
I don't know how often articles get created, but it doesn't look like
often. My suggestion would be that we just use wildfly.org for this.
These seem to be akin to blog posts.
Another option could be better as without knowing the structure of how
wildfly.org is a bit of ask for the community to write an article/blog
post.
Any other options or suggestions on any of these points are welcome.
Not required but I would also like to open for discussion moving the
wildfly-dev mailing list to Google Groups. What are others opinions on
this? It seems to get fairly low traffic as of now.
