Where to ask questions? about ivory HOT 8 CLOSED

I posted a response on Stack Overflow.

(Stack Overflow seems like a reasonable place to ask questions, but I don't think the Ivory team has really been monitoring it particularly well. We've considered making a mailing list.)

@leepike, thank you so much for taking the time to go over to SO, create an account, and answer my question. I appreciate it.

If you have someone on your team with the necessary SO cred/privileges they can create a new tag for ivory like "haskell-ivory". Two of the main reasons why I like SO in general: 1) it is frequented by knowledgeable people who are eager to answer questions well, 2) it is usually easy to quickly find answers to same/similar questions that have been asked in the past - the site creates a body of knowledge that is easily searched - and when a user writes a new question, similar questions are proposed as answers before the new question is posted.

Of course, if you want a tool for other purposes as well - such as making announcements - then a mailing list might be a better idea.

Ok, I'll look for a SO power user to add a tag. :) Thanks.

I'd second a mailing list, but still, it's good to now have a haskell-ivory tag at SO.

@Hodapp87. I'm not a SO evangelist, but I do want to mention that you can set up your account on SO to email you new questions in a tag such as haskell-ivory.

Using the web client from the SO home page select Favourite Tags - Edit (right hand side bar), then advanced tag subscriptions to take you to a dialog where you can set it up.

Thank you, I will look into that :)
