Proposal for a Stack Exchange site for Documentation
Subject:Proposal for a Stack Exchange site for Documentation From:Tony Chung <tonyc -at- tonychung -dot- ca> To:"mbaker -at- analecta -dot- com" <mbaker -at- analecta -dot- com> Date:Mon, 25 Jul 2016 06:38:54 -0700
As long as categories are fluid and can be easily segmented so technical
issues, style and grammar issues, production issues, and other types of
issues could be separated and spun off when needed, stack overflow should
be a good exercise.
