[wildfly-dev] WildFly Community Space Replacement

[Darran Lofthouse]

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.

Regards,
Darran Lofthouse.
