stackoverflow for Sage

[Jason Grout]

Has anyone thought of setting up a stack overflow-type site for Sage
support questions? Apparently Robert Kern is setting up a similar site
for scipy, and it looks very nice. Here's the demo:

http://advice.mechanicalkern.com/

He has a repository customizing the "Solace" project code for such a
website:

http://www.enthought.com/~rkern/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/solace/

And this stack overflow answer has one more similar system:

Thanks,

I haven't. But I can encourage *everybody* here to start using the
awesome mathoverflow site, which does have a fair amount of discussion
involving Sage, evidently:
http://mathoverflow.net/search?q=sage

. mathoverflow is good, but i think nearly nobody from here is over
there?
. personally, i hope that sometimes google's help groups system is
available for everyone (that's similar to that)
. sage is also on userecho, that can be used in a similar manner

I wrote a blog post about this:

Hello,

I just posted a short comment on William's blog, but thought I should
send it to the list for those who may have all ready viewed his blog
post:

"The official "overflow" site for SciPy is http://ask.scipy.org/en/,
which is built on top of Solace (http://opensource.plurk.com/solace/).
Robert Kern set up the original test site
(http://advice.mechanicalkern.com/) using CNPROG, but decided that he
preferred the Solace project."

Best,
Jarrod
