I know I know discourse is not a Q&A platform, and you might not believe in negative votes, etc, as mentioned in other posts. This is not a question about the philosophy, it is a technical question, so please proceed with technical answers.
I think a forum platform like discourse, and a Q&A platform like SO have a lot in common. On the other hand, despite many tries, a polished, high quality, open source clone of SO with a large community and high momentum like discourse does not yet exist. So I was wondering how easy, or difficult, would it be to create a plugin that would convert discourse into stackoverflow?
Would this imaginary plugin be something ‘hacky’ that only would work as a prototype, or would be reliable enough for production?
Note1 : please turn your question into a wiki so we can collaboratively assess this issue’s progress.
Note2 : As of Fall 2018, Stackoverflow opens a team service https://stackoverflow.com/pricing
Hello,
I am not a very expert Ruby on Rails Developer. I finished my last project Bartering Apps and my next one will be a like StackOverflow discussion forum, because I am very interested in how developers find solutions to problems. Once that I implemented the current state of the art Discourse Forum plus Plugins, I could try to develop the following points:
How to get answer’s comments? (stackoverflow-like & tiny)
Downvotes…
How to have all post (answers) as wiki by default? (maybe)
My only hope is that I get through it
Wish me luck, I hope I am not posting something inappropriate for this discussion…
I would need some help and directions, I start one reading some discourse material and maybe cloning the github project.
Gracias por esta lista. ¿Sería justo suponer que los ‘Plugins existentes’ enumerados continúan siendo estables y funcionan bien en las últimas versiones de Discourse? ¿Tienen los plugins alguna noción estándar de “calidad” en comparación con las versiones de Discourse?
Además, en los últimos 5 años, ¿se han agregado plugins más nuevos que podrían ayudar a acercar aún más Discourse a SO en términos de experiencia de usuario y apariencia?
Entonces, ¿hay alguna forma de que el botón “+ Nuevo tema” se pueda cambiar a “+ Hacer una nueva pregunta”?
¿Y es un comportamiento predeterminado de Discourse (listo para usar) realizar una búsqueda inteligente basada en texto parcial o completo de la pregunta ingresada para ver si ya existe una pregunta similar o no, y verificar con el publicador si esas preguntas ya responden a su pregunta?
