#3Well google's guava library[1] has been on stackoverflow.com for a while and they encourage users to post question in stackoverflow rather than posing it to the google group[2].
"To get help on a specific question or problem, post a question to Stack Overflow with the tag "guava". We monitor these questions using this RSS feed.)"

Then why post it? It's not in the commenting spirit of Hacker News.

#6The headline is a tad inaccurate considering "discussions" don't really take place on Stack Overflow. In fact, I'd say that's one of the main motivators for a change like this; A more structured Q/A instead of wading through mounds of discussions.

#7Android, Google Maps API are in Stack Overflow too.
Google Groups is not really suited for discussions involving code.
Glad Google realizes that.

#8is there any kind of financial agreement behind this kind of thing? are google paying something to stack overflow to compensate for the extra load, or are s.o. happy to have the extra traffic / eyeballs? maybe they are going to be a sponsor or whatever it is that gets an icon displayed? and if it's "free" is there discussion beforehand, or it is just assumed that s.o. will handle things?
not trying to imply anything, just curious how shifts like this, which could be significant in terms of extra load, are arranged.
