Integrating Discourse and Stackoverflow?

功能
1

Hi,
We are considering using Discourse for our open source developer community, to facilitate discussion.
Another option considered, and seen by some as the preferred option, is to simply rely on Questions on StackOverflow, and drive our community there.

I am wondering if there are ways to integrate both, to somehow let both doors open. For instance, triggering automatically a discussion in Discourse when a new question is posted in SO about our technology.

Any body has achieve some sort of integration between Discoure and StackOverflow?

Thanks,
Roland

No such integration makes sense; Stack Overflow is focused Q&A – discussion is explicitly disallowed. I would just stick with Stack Overflow, with the caveat that Stack Overflow has rules about this sort of thing.

Thanks Jeff.
Borders between answerable questions and discussions are not always super clear to me.
Agreed that a discussion would not fit in Stack Overflow, but could imagine a Q&A in SO generating a discussion in Discourse. In any case this can totally be done manually, if we decide to use both, we might not need integration then.

If it can have 10+ “answers”, it is not a question, but a discussion.

我在想。Stack Overflow 是否曾考虑过将 Discourse 和 Stack Overflow 合并？对于 https://github.com/mui/material-ui：

  • Stack Overflow 对我们来说不是那么好，因为管理员权限的问题。我们的团队需要数月才能获得声誉，以便能够正确地回答有关我们开源项目的问题。
  • Discourse 对我们来说也不是那么好，因为它们是讨论，往往是低效的（被滥用，人们主要将其用于提问、错误报告、功能请求、RFC，而所有这些我们都使用不同的工具，例如 GitHub）。

如今，我们有一个官方的问答插件，请参阅：Discourse Post Voting

话虽如此，但根据您的描述，您面临的不是软件问题。听起来您面临的是一个缺乏凝聚力的社区问题……太多的渠道容纳不了足够多的人。

对于非常小的社区来说，只依赖 GitHub 来处理一切可能就足够了，Discourse 当然能为您提供更多功能，但再多的功能也无法解决人员问题。

如果您将错误/功能/问题都集中在一个地方，Discourse 可能会适合您，但如果人们需要阅读手册才能弄清楚每个类别在哪里，那可能会非常麻烦。

感谢您提供 Discourse Post Voting 的链接。这可能正是我们尝试 Discourse 所需要的！

关于建立一个更具凝聚力的社区，很有意思，我们会对此进行研究。目前，MUI 作为一个开源项目，每月有大约 100 万独立开发者访问其文档。Bootstrap CSS 的开发者大约是 MUI 的 2.5 倍。我们通过以下方式引导社区：
