I think that using Stack Overflow for support is a bad idea. I'd much rather see us build a clone of Stack Overflow to put on Drupal.org than keep a major support venue offsite. Thanks, Cameron On Sun, Jan 30, 2011 at 10:05, Ronald Ashri <ronald@istos.it> wrote:
I think the stackexchange for Drupal would be a good thing (validates the size and relevancy of Drupal for developers in the big world out there) but it should not be considered a replacement for d.o. forums. Drupal.org needs to be self-sustainable - this validates Drupal's ability to cater, on its own, for its community.

Hi,
There has been some chatter on Twitter concerning the future of the forums on drupal.org.
I don't want to relight any code wars on keeping it in house or using external solutions but......
Here is a well supported stackexchange proposal to provide Drupal answers. I think this would be an ideal replacement for the Drupal.org forums.
http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/2978/drupal-answers
Please offer your support and commitment to the stackexchange site so we can help new users more efficiently.
Any opinions?
