Is SQLA 2.0 going to start life with MORE questions than StackOverflow? Nope, not even close, SO is heading for one million... ...but how about the first StackExchange 2.0 website that has emerged from Beta? http://nothingtoinstall.com has 2,285 messages and 3,167 users with reputation > 1 point. The general newsgroup has over 50,000 threads... surely the SQLA 2.0 team will be able leap about the parking lot and beat their mighty chests! As the Mason the chimpanzee said in "The Penguins of Madagascar", "Well, of course we can still fling poo at them. That's tradition." :) |
Sorry, Breck, but I don't get the message...can you explain the hints?
What is giving you difficulty? the history of StackExchange 2.0? the SQLA 2.0 development team? the website nothingtoinstall.com? general newsgroup? chest beating? the Madagascar chimpanzees?
@Breck: Well, more or less I think I don't get the join condition right... So you are expecting the SQLA 2.0 site to start with a large NNTP based question pool? (And nevertheless, possibly not that much known users..?)
Yes, I am hoping for all of the NNTP data. Currently, StackOverflow has almost a million questions, across a mind-blowing variety of topics, and nobody complains about having "too much information"... which is like saying there are "too many books in the world". For a few days it might take a bit of getting used to, but bring it on!
I also hope distinct NNTP users get set up as SQLA users, but that might not happen... and it is not as important as the content.
.. and my boys could clarify the Madagascar quote - good catch:)
