: But I am curious about other peoples' experiences with SO. Do you ask : questions in that forum? Do you answer? Why? How do you compare that : "support channel" with this one? Did you migrate from one to another? : Private replies are welcome, though I suspect this topic might be : interesting for public discussion too.
There aren't enough hours in the day for me to read/respond to every question/discussion that i want to help out with the solr-user@lucene mailing list -- i'm certainly not going to sacrifice any of the time i have available to help out in this official community/support discussion @apache to create "content" for a 3rd party company that generates ad revenue based on the answers people provide for free, and might not be arround next week/month/year to keep an archive for future users. (don't even get me started on quora and their bullshit "you can't even *read* the content foolish people wrote for us for free w/o giving us access to your social graph") -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
