Reminder: Google App Engine community support is moving to Stack Overflow

[Amy Unruh]

Hi App Engine Developers,

As we announced last month on this thread:

  http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/67a5cdffae1c03bc/ ,

we are migrating to Stack Overflow (http://stackoverflow.com) as the official channel for answering Java and Python development questions about Google App Engine. The Python and Java App Engine groups will be placed into read-only mode tomorrow (6th March).   The google-appengine group (<http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine>) will remain open for general discussions and announcements that are better suited for the groups format. 

For those who missed this previous thread, it's probably useful to skim through it for a more detailed discussion about why we believe this transition to Stack Overflow for development questions will be an improvement for App Engine developers.

From the thread, here is Ikai's original announcement:

  http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/msg/5d70b842714efd25

and here is a bit more amplification from Greg D'Alesandre, an App Engine Senior Product Manager:

  http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/msg/cf9183d4af1c36e6

If you are new to Stack Overflow, here are a few useful links:

Questions tagged with 'google-app-engine':

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-app-engine

Some of the top users (i.e., question-answerers) for the SO app engine tag:

  http://stackoverflow.com/tags/google-app-engine/topusers

and a bit more info on some of them:

You can subscribe to Stack Overflow tags via email: 

  http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/12/subscribe-to-tags-via-emai/ 

 and grab rss feeds for tags, e.g.:

  http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag?tagnames=google-app-engine&sort=newest

  

And then there is Andrin's great app for pulling SO feeds into mailing lists, to let you get new questions and answers in your mail client. 

See: 

 http://stack-over-mail.appspot.com

and in particular, subscribe to 

  http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-stackoverflow  (google-appengin...@googlegroups.com) 

[You can add new tags as well].

Here is a Chrome extension for tracking new questions on a Stack Overflow tag:

And last but not least, from Bart:
