I discovered the site PhoneHow.com when reading about how active development with OSQA is.

PhoneHow.com has the following features:

  • Limiting a keyword search to questions with specific tags with "[tag] search"
  • If a tag is searched for, it automatically forwards to that tag instead of doing a keyword search
  • Auto search after each letter is typed on Users and Tags pages
  • Defaulting to My/Interest Tags on Unanswered page

I emailed the person running PhoneHow.com and received no response.

I was curious if they are planning or have already submitted any of these changes to OSQA for future versions?

That site is a stackexchange v1 site I believe. Not OSQA.

Well, that would make sense. Otherwise, I thought he had added those features without contributing back to the community.

hey drew! sorry about not getting back to you, your email got lost, and I even starred it! anywho, Hernani is right. it's an stackexchange 1.0 site, and has not had any love for awhile. I've been busy with other projects, and the people at stackexchange have built a good community, so im probably going to take the site down..not sure yet

Thanks for your reply Debut and no worries! I wish I could have gotten in at StackExchange 1.0...or maybe not? Can you transfer a license perchance? :)

The above didn't come out right. I definitely don't want to be using StackExchange 1.0 for a long period of time given that there's no future development of it.

I just am working on a website that relies on some of the features that it has and OSQA doesn't have (yet!) I'd really like to get something up and running as soon as possible andI imagine the migration between them wouldn't be too difficult.

Myself or someone I work with will definitely be contributing to OSQA to help get some new features like searching within tags via "[tag] keyword(s)"
