Notes for Public Drafts

On Stack Overflow

Stack Overflow is a “community site” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0164121218300517.

Is the Elixir Forum a Stack Overflow for Elixir?

SO has an annual developer survey https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/.

“Over 100,000 developers took the 30-minute survey this past January.” https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018

On Discourse

The Elixir Forum uses Discourse https://www.discourse.org/.

Other languages use Discourse (Rust https://users.rust-lang.org/, Kotlin https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/, see https://www.discourse.org/testimonials).

Docker uses it https://forums.docker.com/. Atom too https://discuss.atom.io/.

Is there too much gamification on Discourse?
