Dear all, a while ago I got a notice from Jorge Castro (thanks!) about the possibility of supporting Debian users using approaches like stackexchange [1]. Of course there's a blocker of non-free ness for that specific service, but Jorge has also pointed me to a free (AGPL-ed) replacement called Shapado [2,3]. [1] http://stackexchange.com/ [2] http://shapado.com/ [3] http://gitorious.org/shapado I find the idea of user support via such approaches interesting, and its apparently working for other distributions. But of course nothing like that will happen per se. It will rather need someone setting up a shapado instance (at shapado.debian.net ?) and doing the bits of communication needed to reach a critical mass there. Is there anyone interested in giving a try to something like that? Alternatively, Jorge has also noticed that there's already http://debian.shapado.com, but having our own instance would arguably be better. No matter which instance we decide to use, the bits of communication to give it a try will be needed anyhow. Comments? Volunteers?
