Maybe consider putting up a Q & A page on the site for accumulo specific
topics?
With the ability to post / reply
I believe this will help new people quite a bit, and will serve as a
reference so the same questions are not asked multiple times.

Cheers,
Miguel

It looks like currently there are 1-2 questions asked per week.  Should we just try doing it on the user list? This will give it the most eyes.

Sure if volume increases we can move it to notifications.

We could experimentally subscribe our existing notifications list to the
accumulo tag.

Re: QA

On stackoverflow there is a way to subscribe an email to a tag set, is it
possible to create something like: soqa@accumulo.apache.org and send all qa
notifcations to subscribers that way? I was thinking the seperate email for
those subscribed to dev that dont want to participate.

Re: QA

Im an avid user of stackoverflow and contribute a lot to the hadoop and pig tag. And i think it is the right place, but we do need to work at it a bit.

There is a bit of a problem with smaller tags in terms of momentum. If someone asks an accumulo question and it takes a long time to get a response, they wont use it again. Also, if they don't see many questions about accumulo already, it gives the impression they shouldnt waste their time. I wonder if there is something out there that could notify the list when a new question on SO is asked so we as a group can answer it quickly.

The next thing is editing the questions. When we see an accumulo question, we should make sure that hadoop and anything else is tagged that needs to be tagged so it gets more eyes. For example, i use the pig tag a lot, but always tag hadoop, too. Any other tags from a SEO perspective should be added if the person doesn't know what they are asking. E.g., chaning "server thingy not starting" to "TabletServer not starting".

Finally, we need to get some volume in there. Maybe it's sending people there or maybe it is "seeding" FAQ there and answering it ourselves (e.g., sean posts the faq, then I answer it with the predetermined answer). Not sure how kosher that is.

+1 for stackoverflow and other links for simplicity and duplication

Or perhaps just a pointer to an appropriate tag on StackOverflow and
ServerFault?
