[keycloak-user] Stack Overflow

[Thomas Raehalme]

Seems to me that many projects have done similar decisions recently so I
doubt it's totally a bad decision :-)

That being said, however, I like the fact that with the mailing list I can
keep an eye on Keycloak, see what kind of problems users are encountering
or use cases they are trying to solve, and sort of collect information for
future reference.

Maybe you can do that (or similar) with SO as well. Other than reading
Google results I haven't been that active on SO.

Best regards,
Thomas
