If they can create incentives for people to help each other (ie karma points), it would be great. Getting help with a direct feed of your command-line is just 2 commands away: pip install shellstream && startstream

I really like the idea and it has a lot of potential.

Thanks jzelinskie! Right now, a rewards system is in the works.

It would be cool to establish a marketplace for help on top of this. i.e. I can pay $1/min for someone's time on demand to get help. If that existed, I would have spent a ton last winter when I was learning Obj C.

maybe they can integrate in someway with the upcoming Google Helpouts.. (using an API that will be later on shut down by Google, of course.. :))

I like this format a lot - the discussion / real time aspect is great and will really help to preserve some of the problem solving that occurs within groups and organizations. I had fun responding to a question - until I figured out what the closed icon was and that it had been resolved hehe.

Could be my browser (FireFox ESR) but having only one line for the reply by default is a bit cramped - I only noticed the click-box to expand the text editor a bit later.

Nice work!

Thanks salifast. I need to work on the icons...

This is still very much a Beta. Going to work on the issue page formatting.
