RFC: New http://ask.cakephp.org

[Cross posting this on CakePHP Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/cake.community/]

Hello everybody

I came across an idea which I wanted to share with and hope to spark some discussion.
Probably - or better said for sure - I'm not even the first one having it.

First some back story:

As you may know CakePHP's Question & Answer site http://ask.cakephp.org/ redirects nowadays to "cakephp" tagged questions on stackoverflow.com.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/cakephp

I haven't seen any official statement about that from the development team but the Wayback Machine could crawl the page the last time on 09.05.2013.

http://web.archive.org/web/20130509084040/http://ask.cakephp.org

The CakePHP Questions site before that, http://www.cakeqs.org/ (nowadays a japanese blog), was last seen on 02.10.2010.
Any later request got redirected to http://ask.cakephp.org/.

http://web.archive.org/web/20101002085134/http://cakeqs.org/

So back to the idea...

Recently I came accross one of the many domain/topic specific sub sites of stackoverflow.com.

http://stackexchange.com/sites#technology

For example "Drupal Answers".

http://drupal.stackexchange.com/

And I thought "Hey wouldn't it be nicer to redirect CakePHP's Questions & Answers site to something like this instead of just the tagged with "cakephp" site?".

Like I said I'm not the first one, so this is rather a follow-up on a three years old idea, which time hadn't come yet.

But I think the time is now right.
What do you think?
Should we open a proposal for http://cakephp.stackexchange.com/ called "CakePHP Questions & Answers" or something like this?

http://area51.stackexchange.com/faq

I personally think it would strengthen the CakePHP brand even further...

Greetings from Switzerland
Marc
