<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>To summarize this thread, many subscribers would like this mail list to have a "higher signal to noise ratio". One aspect of this is *very* Yesod specific development discussions. We have considered a yesod-contributors mail list. However, this would only take a few conversations off of web-devel and was mostly designed to replace the system of informal e-mails that occurs now. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The only common definition of "higher signal to noise ratio" is to have fewer help messages. This is a very reasonable request, although as Jasper points out, it is not always clear when someone is asking for help if they will be exposing something that needs to have a discussion. But I suppose we could take such a conversation off of StackOverflow and post it to the mail list.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I edited the page:</div><a href="http://www.yesodweb.com/page/community">http://www.yesodweb.com/page/community</a><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.yesodweb.com/page/community"></a>To point to Stack Overflow. We will try out encouraging users to ask for help on Stack Overflow.</div>
<div>I also added a mention of the #yesod IRC channel. The channel is currently not a good medium for help- if any Yesod users can go on IRC and answer basic questions (and otherwise point users to Stack Overflow) that would be very appreciated.</div>
<div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">Harmut, I appreciate your input. Please let us know how the new changes impact your experience and if you have suggestions for other approaches.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To the rest of Yesod users, start trying out Stack Overflow if you feel it is appropriate, and let us know how it goes. Also try out IRC if you like. But we don't want anyone to feel intimidated in communicating with the community, so if you feel web-devel is best, please just post here.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To those wanting "higher signal to noise", lets check back in and a month and see how things are doing.<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></div><div><br></div>

Stackoverflow is - at first sight - nice indeed, but for the long term, in my eyes, it is over-crowed regarding too many informations, that do not belong to the topic itself, it has too much colors, different fonts and graphics. <br>
