@DavidVogel Was there a scenario where you saw that the lack of a specific programming skill caused a problem? For example not knowing that four spaces make a proper indent in python, and accidentally readjusting then in code examples can quite happily ruin an engineer day
@LeftyGBalogh Yes, that is a good example. Certainly if you don't have a basic understanding of the language you could completely screw something up (such as mangling the indentation of a indentation-dependent language like Python)
@Michael Ah, I see... For the private beta, I have posted to the WTD Slack channel and the LinkedIn STC page. Unfortunately, for private beta you need a person't email address to invite them. Any help in spreading the word and inviting people would be much appreciated! I think this site would be an invaluable resource to the tech comm field. But it will only succeed if there are a lot of people participating.
@DavidVogel can the email invite be sent to a group, or is it somehow locked to one address? I'm happy to invite STC folks I know in my area, as well as my colleagues. If it has to be a direct email, I can try to find some point people who I think would spread the word in their orgs.
I'm not actually sure. I've only tried individual emails. I assume if you send to a distribution list it would work. You can see the email form at the right of the main page (techcomm.stackexchange.com)
