February 21, 201610 yr There are so many questions repeated or asked with slightly different permutations on this forum. Has Tom, Jon, or anyone else at Limetech looked at using Stackoverflow's engine? Two huge benefits would be 1) Voting/comments and additional answers (even years later) help ensure the highest rated answers are both current and relevant 2) Works very well with search engines (including google) There's such an active community on the forums, seems like this one step would make their contributions so much more accessible. Thoughts? More info can be found at this page.
February 21, 201610 yr Author What would help out tremendously is a real Issue Tracking System. You mean like JIRA? If so, I disagree. It's to easy to add issues (like asking questions here), and very difficult and time consuming to resolve them. That doesn't address the fundamental issue that unRAID has a lot of collaborators (who probably couldn't close bugs), and not nearly as many developers. Stackoverflow makes the collaborators work more valuable, an issue tracking system doesn't. To me, making it easier to find the (current) best answer would resolve many of the issues, but the answers are hard to find on the forums. Once that problem is handled, I may start to agree with you.
February 21, 201610 yr The reason I'd like to see an official issue tracking system is so real issues aren't buried and lost in the forums just because there hasn't been recent discussions about them. I think the combination of an official issue tracking system and functional search capabilities in the forums would pair nicely.
February 21, 201610 yr i like the idea of voting up (or down) on an answer to a question. The "voted up" answers would be listed at the top of the discussion thread somehow.

If you aren't familiar with stackoverflow, that (among many other benefits) is what it does. You should check it out if you haven't already. Doesn't everyone know about stackoverflow?

Doesn't everyone know about stackoverflow? Yeah, thats the place where highschool and undergrad student go to get their homework assignments done by others.

I've found a few highly paid "consultants" finding solutions for my needs by using stackoverflow. Some of the more brazen ones has outsourced to outsourcer.com and the like. These days we their internet access from the office just for the LOLs
