<div dir="ltr">Hi Olga,<div><br></div><div>I think a similar idea was brought up at Stanford last year, partially as a way to make what we're doing more visible and to lower some barriers for asking questions.</div><div><br></div><div>But a separate stackexchange forum might not be the best path forward as it's too narrow a topic. People have asked questions about HPSG on StackOverflow, and you could create an [hpsg] tag if you have 1500+ reputation points, but they have to be used in at least 1 question every 6 months or they get removed. Alternatively, we could reuse other tags, like [nlp], [grammar], or [linguistics].</div><div><br></div><div>There's also a linguistics forum in beta: <a href="https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/">https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/</a>. Its stats (<a href="https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/6673/linguistics">https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/6673/linguistics</a>) show that it's doing ok, but it needs more questions per day, so if we join up with that forum we can both benefit.</div><div><br></div><div>What do you think?</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 21, 2017 at 12:03 PM, Olga Zamaraeva <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:olzama@uw.edu" target="_blank">olzama@uw.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I was curious how many people on these lists would be interested in participating in a stack exchange site (like stackoverflow, tex-exchange, math-exchange etc), as an alternative/supplement to this mailing list?<div><br></div><div>The site would house questions about grammar engineering with HPSG, I imagine, particularly using the Grammar Matrix.<br><div><br></div><div>These sites both promote quality question/answering and provide a very convenient way to look up things which had already been answered/discussed. </div><div><br></div><div>I created a proposal for such a site on <a href="http://stackexchange.com" target="_blank">stackexchange.com</a> but I suspect we won't have enough users?
