I completely agree. I find it a particular pain point because I cant describe my job unless I have an adequate description of the platform. “Developer community” would be the closest thing, but that’s a side effect. We’re actually there to problem solve. “Q&A platform” also doesnt fit because we often work towards the solution through multiple posts, rather than one correct answer like stack overflow.
I called our instance an innersource platform for a while, but that feels like a much wider philosophy.
Then I tried to be more specific with “crowd-solving platform”, but that also sounds something a government would use to suppress protesters…
I’m currently sitting on “Co-solving” (collaborative, cooperative problem solving) which isnt great but maybe it gives management the buzzword they need to understand the use case and purpose in one word
