Re: [m2m-iwg] Curating Stack Overflow

I created those tags.  If anyone wants
to update the tag wikis for these, either send me the text or update them
and email me when done so I can approve the edits.

Worked hard for that 11.9k rep, might
as well use it.  :-)

Well, one thing I spotted as a result of this discussion
is that there's a Mihini/Koneki question unanswered on the m2m tag (I've
retagged to include Eclipse and Lua, but don't have rep to create new tags
for Mihini and Koneki)

Thanks T.Rob, this is helpful

Regarding the "m2m" tag, I would
unfortunately not say that the activity is growing just yet. Lots of the
questions that are asked are either related to M2M as in "Model-to-Model",
or M2M as in a Django (Python CMS) technology
I wish there would be more machine-to-machine
activity on StackOverflow though, and I agree it is important for everyone
to try monitoring what's happening there as much as possible, and +1 the
top contributors!

Cheers,

Objet : [m2m-iwg] Curating Stack Overflow

I was browsing through the MQTT and
M2M tags on Stack Overflow and noticed that activity there is growing.
 However, curation of the tags is a bit low.  In MQTT Roger Light
and Andy Piper are closely tied with 28 answers each and the next highest
answerer has 3 answers.  In the M2M tag there are 70 questions and
the top answerer has only 8 votes on 2 answers.

If you believe that the Stack Overflow community is important to MQTT and
M2M, here are some tips I've found useful while I've been growing the websphere-mq
tag there.

• Monitor the RSS feed for the tags of interest and be responsive in the tags you wish to curate.  Developers are more likely to ask questions in the tag if they see a high proportion of answered questions and within those a high proportion of answers accepted.
• Enlist the aid of other SMEs to respond to questions.  Same reason as above.  
• Go back answer historical questions that have no answer or a poor answer.
• Vote on questions in the tag.  Developers are more likely to ask questions that they are likely to receive points for.  Tags where questions get many votes get all the love.  Tags where questions get very few votes tend to hear a lot of crickets.
• Vote on answers.  Roger and Andy had many questions with no votes or only 1 vote.  More rep means your curators have more moderator rights in the tag.  It's almost impossible to achieve mod rights in a lightly trafficked tag so voting for each other's Q&A is crucial.  From the tag summary page you can click on the user's score and see all their responses in a tag and then go give them some votes.  (Don't vote for the same person more than 10 times in a day or the votes are rolled back for attempted gaming of the rep system.)
