I meant to post this on the numpy list since there was already a thread going about the mail list, So I would prefer to keep the discussion there but don't really care. Vincent On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 11:11 AM, Vincent Davis <vincent@vincentdavis.net> wrote:
I prefer the mail list but stackoverflow.com is good. But what I really like about stackoverflow is not the answers but the ability to search and even the dynamic search when I start to type a question. Here are a few ideas
1) When the first email of a tread is processed by the mail serve a search of similar question is done and the relevant posts are attached (as links) at the bottom of the message.
2) A web based interface that is similar to stackoverflow in that a user can search and post within the same page and as they type a question suggested relevant posts are shown.
I probably should be posting this elsewhere, like on some mailman list.
Do you think this is feasible (cost, benefit) or desirable?
