We\u2019re used to harnessing the power of customer conversations (on whichever platform they may be) and use them to inform, support and build better products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we set out to build our dream community, we settled on two platforms that would complement each other: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our <a href=\"https:\/\/forum.oroinc.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">forums<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doc.oroinc.com\/community\/issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">issues<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Over the years, we haven\u2019t changed this winning combination because it has worked well: we got valuable feedback from engaged customers and kept in touch with developers who wanted to get the most out of Oro products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three years ago, we added <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/oro-slack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slack<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to our arsenal with the goal of nurturing discussion and promoting conversations around the Oro suite of products. We also wanted to get closer to our developers who customize our Oro community-level products &#8211; and be in a better position to help them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result was surprising to say the least. All of a sudden we began seeing more collaboration as developers responded positively to self-service and supporting their peers. We\u2019ve also seen a fair share of issues being deflected from other support channels. This freed up time for Oro developers to answer more pressing, complex questions which improved the overall experience for our community members.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Oro Community on Stack Overflow<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever form a collaboration takes, we understand the value of engagement well after communication has stopped. We took this to heart with forums, where we had Oro core developers on standby ready to jump into important conversations when needed.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the continuous effort in keeping our forums a helpful resource, we realized that they were falling short on the value we\u2019d like to offer our users.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more questions we had that needed the attention of our core developers, the less time they have to work on new features and bug fixes. This presented many scalability issues and obstacles in growing our forums.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The quality of questions and constructiveness of discussions was also a concern. For example, we often got unrealistic code writing requests or issue reports without any details to accompany them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As time went on, the organizational limitation of forums were not conducive to improving communication, developer engagement and bringing everyone\u2019s attention to information with the most value.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s when we realized that building a website others will want to use and come back to involves more than just giving access to trustworthy, dynamic content. Our new forums had to be a valuable destination for wide-ranging conversations about every possible topic, with minimum friction in delivery and experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>After looking for alternatives that would address the above issues, we decided to completely migrate Oro forums to Stack Overflow.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where to get help about Oro products<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we commence migration from forums to Stack Overflow, we are keeping forums in a read-only state with all existing content intact.
