Hi MapServer Users and Power-Users,<br>
<br>
As FrankW pointed out during our FOSS4G presentation, I would like to<br>
propose that we add stackexchange as an "official" support channel for<br>
MapServer. You can check and subscribe to mapserver related questions<br>
here: <a href="http://stackexchange.com/filters/90617/mapserver" target="_blank">http://stackexchange.com/<u></u>filters/90617/mapserver</a><br>
<br>
Why?<br>
<br>
- Stackexchange questions and answers are very well referenced through<br>
search engines, which would avoid recurring questions from being<br>
brought up on the mailing list<br>
- The answers get up or down-voted by the community, allowing a user<br>
to immediately flesh out relevant information for a given question<br>
- Asking a question on stack-exchange might help new users to seek for<br>
help, instead of having to subscribe and post to a public mailing list<br>
(which can be intimidating)<br>
<br>
How?<br>
<br>
- By referencing stackexchange in our "getting help" documentation section<br>
- Most importantly, by having MapServer power users subscribe and<br>
participate to the stackexchange questions, providing answers or<br>
upvoting correct existing answers.<br>
<br>
Users, is this something that you would find beneficial?<br>
Power-users, would you be willing to participate to another support<br>
channel, knowing that in the long run the aim is to reduce your<br>
workload as the most common questions will answer themselves ?<br>
PSC, should we have some kind of motion to vote and officialise this?<br>
<br>
best regards,<br>
Thomas<br>
