Re: How to use the django-users mailing list properly and doing your homework..

+1 on Piotr's post.

Although I do see the benefits of Andres's ideas, I do agree that some things really should be kept separate.

Everything has its place. For me it looks like that:

direct help - IRC
searching for solutions - tutorials, documentation, django snippets
discovering new stuff - email list, StackOverflow

To be honest, I often think about how an e-mail list is actually one of
the worst media to help with coding.

Here's some food for thought: wouldn't it be better if we had a
django-help project that combined django snippets, a stack overflow-like
ratings system (an incentive to both good questions and speedy answers),
code highlighting, moderation, open/closed questions, etc?



Sincerely,

André Terra

   Could others people also contribute some examples of what they
   consider good/bad threads too? (maybe could even put some text
   underneath to explain why)

       Because to be honest, if github disappears, then something has
       gone terribly wrong with the interwebs :X

       But also +1 on django web team deploying their own...

           Don't forget about GitHub Gists!

           https://gist.github.com/

           Considering a lot of Django projects are already hosted
           there... Seems
           like a natural fit to me. :)

           Also, Gist has the "fork" feature.
