Q&A on Stack Overflow?

As a general guideline, it’s probably best if, moving forward, we ask people to do their Q&As on StackOverflow since that makes the content easier to update and searchable. What do you think?

I say this because I am getting some really good answers from the Bokeh team in the mailing list, but I would hate those answers to be difficult to access for others (and hard to update). I get faster responses from the mailing list, which is why I ask them here, but that’s not good practice :).

With that in mind, here is one question that I posted:

Thanks again for your feedback. We are always eager to improve our support and recently have been having some internal discussion about it.
