A while ago Mark Cassidy started a Stack Exchange Site for Sitecore – our own Sitecore Specific Stack Overflow essentially . Great idea right?
Myself and other Sitecore Community members have been trying to get the site (currently in Beta) to launch.
Due to Sitecore Symposium causing a downturn in activity for over a week we were initially told the site wasn’t going to make it out of Beta :-(.
However the good news yesterday was that Stack Exchange kindly relented and extended the Beta for another two weeks! until the 18/10:
http://meta.sitecore.stackexchange.com/questions/60/extending-the-private-beta-to-10-18
However if this is going to succeed we need more Sitecore developers / users to get involved. There are many of you out there but not enough on the Stack Exchange site.
If you have already signed up for Area51 then please use the site and start contributing. Go to: https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/101710/sitecore and then use the “Visit” link under the “20 days in Beta” box, Or use this link: https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/101710/sitecore/visit and log in with the same details you used for Area51
If you haven’t already signed up, then ask for an invite in the #stackexchange channel on slack or tweet me @billyjava and someone will send you an invite.
I’m sure you will agree that our own Stack Exchange site for Sitecore would be a great asset to the Sitecore community and an really useful platform to share knowledge and documentation but if we don’t quickly get more support it won’t make it.
So please do what you can to help and support by asking and answering questions on the Beta site.
