A little while ago there was some discussion on the REAL Software forums about creating a StackOverflow StackExchange to supplement the forums.

I always liked StackOverflow/StackExchange and think it’s a good way to ask and get answers to questions. But until today, StackExchange was pretty expensive (hundreds of dollars a month). Alas, even though StackExchange will now be free, the free version is not yet up and running. And even then, new sites have to go through a fairly lengthy approval process before they can go live.

After looking into this a bit I stumbled across a site called Shapado, which is essentially an open-source clone of StackOverflow/StackExchange. And they allow you to create new sites for free!

So I just created a new site for REAL Studio, which you can access here:

http://realstudio.shapado.com/

I will be populating it with questions and answers over time, but it is available now if you want to check it out.
