[15:06] <stas> hi, correct me if I'm wrong, but askubuntu.com is totally not a community project nor canonical one
[15:11] <head_victim> Well it's in use by the community
[15:12] <stas> head_victim: yeah, but nothing more
[15:12] <head_victim> I'm not 100% certain on the inception of the project, I prefer IRC and mailing lists for my support
[15:13] <stas> true, but I'm looking to migrate our loco forums to osqa or sort of
[15:13] <stas> and was wondering what was the community input in askubuntu
[15:21] <head_victim> Ah, our loco is contemplating a forum but I can't see the need for it when the main forums exist already
[16:13] <stas> head_victim: an askubuntu solution i see would help a lot in support questions, which for a forum is a too nosy place to address
[16:14] <head_victim> I thought a forum existed as support
[17:18] <cjohnston> stas: jcastro would be the one to ask
[22:44] <nhandler> stas: A forum also tends to cater more to discussions. askubuntu aims to get the best answers to questions and make them easily available from search engines and stuff like that. I'm not aware of any locos using a system like askubuntu. Most choose to use a forum instead (especially since they can get a subforum on ubuntuforums.org)
[22:46] <stas> nhandler: thanks, I agree with you. looks like we'll try a pilot project using osqa for questions and online assistance and leave forums for "flames" :)
