A lot of people, including the main Brian developers, are on holiday at the moment. Please be patient over the next few weeks.

Subject: [Brian] Members not very responsive
Hi,--
My observations are that some of the posts here have many views, yet no one is helpful in replying. Even if the readers dont understand the example, at least it would be good to acknowledge that it is a difficult problem or the examples formulated in the posts are vague. Agree?

When I started my research, I’d planned to write my own simulator, until I discovered Brian2 and GeNN. It is a well-designed simulator and has been a HUGE timesaver. I will add that Marcel, Dan and Thomas Nowotny have been very good about responding to my rookie questions and answering them patiently. I have also learned that it is quite easy to put together quick experiments to answer some of my questions on my own.
With regard to answering questions and contributing to the community, well, it takes time to understand someone else’s work deeply enough to confidently and correctly answer questions about it, but I hope to start contributing in that way (and contributing to the codebase as well if I can usefully do so) by the time I’m finished with my dissertation.

Thanks Marcel!
In terms of what could replace it, I think the key feature if we
want to encourage community members to engage more would be a way
to get recognition for answering questions. Stack overflow does
this really well I think, but it's probably available in other
software too. I like the idea of Discourse as a fully open
software and a quick look at it seems nice. Haven't really looked
in detail at Github Discussions or neurostars, but in principle
both are good options. I'd also be interested to hear the
community's thoughts on this.

OK, so it seems Discourse has an official plugin for the "Mark as correct answer" idea, so it looks like a nice option.
