I would like to introduce a new site that a good friend of mine and work colleague Maurizio Domba (mdomba) and I have setup in order to solve an issue that actually occurs at this forum and help the Yii community with what we think could be a great tool for their learning or development processes: Yiianswers.com
Don’t get us wrong, the forum is amazing, highly addictive (you can check our profiles -mdomba and tonydspaniard to find out how we love the forum) and very useful thanks to the support of a lot of good programmers that freely give aways their time to help others get the right answers, in order to push Yii to the level where it supposed to be in terms of PHP community acceptance.
Nevertheless, one of the things that we face as the forum grows is that the same questions are repeated again and again, and we believe that this is not because users do not know how to search for a solution but for the structure and functionality of a forum itself. We always thought that could be great to have a site to keep questions and its solutions in a categorized tree where people could easily browse, search, and/or find what they are looking for, and this is why Yiianswers.com is here.
Yiianswers.com is an instant Questions and Answers site, so popular nowadays. We really hope that will help you out and will easy the task of finding the right answers to your Yii questions.
Pretty cool, good job. Sites like stackoverflow prove that this concept is very successful in terms of helping users. I’m sure the site will help the Yii project to get further acceptance and reach.
One thing you might want to fix: Signup email arrives in spam-folder.
Thanks guys… We will probably start filling up the most repetitive questions at the forum with its correspondent asnwers… But we hope that it will be filled by the users instead
The good think is that ‘the Usuals’ are already there -missing some though.
Currently we are working on another big project so we don’t have much time to develop additional features for this site… that’s the reason it’s in wordpress at the first place… I’m not sure if there are plugins to offer facebook/google login
but if the site will be of help and used… we will consider to develop it in Yii… and that time we will think about including those options
Well, Facebook registration, Fan Page, Twitter Updates, RSS Feeds, Google+, and ShareThis buttons… I think is all related to social… anything else? Now we just need to popup some questions there
I have tweaked the code rendering to show a proper code syntax highlighting… I think is better for us coders… easy to view, copy… check it out: http://yiianswers.com
