Re: Stackoverflow Questions
+user@
I think we'd better ask user@ before we subscribe the list to a regular
automated email. Daily might be OK for dev@ but I would guess that user@
might prefer less frequent. It will have a predictable subject so it should
be easy to filter if someone is not interested.

Upon further inspection, I don't think this would be as simple as creating
a StackExchange filter subscribed to user@; the emails sent include an
unsubscribe link, which anyone could click and break the subscription.

It should be valuable to get a digest of SO questions on user@ (and dev@)
but I think this should be one-way, i.e. respective questions should be
answered on SO.

Re: Stackoverflow Questions
Posted by Robert Bradshaw <ro...@google.com>.
People who ask on SO probably expect to be answered on SO.
I don't think it makes sense to subscribe users to automated emails
like this, but a weekly (or maybe even daily) summary to dev would
probably be helpful in effectively getting these questions answered.

Re: Stackoverflow Questions

Is this somehow bidirectional? or should we then go and answer in SO?
Asking this because in part the interest of user@ is also to learn
from other people problems/solutions, so having the answers there
would be ideal.
