Watir site at stackexchange.com

Watir site at stackexchange.com

Recently I have asked if people are interested in creating Watir site at stackexchange.com. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people that are interested. Just today I have read that new stackexchange.com sites can be created, so I have created Watir site at stackexchange.com.

I think stackoverflow.com software (also used at stackexchange.com) is the best solution for Watir support (and almost any other kind of support).

If you think Watir site at stackexchange.com is a good idea, all you have to do is:

- go to Watir site at stackexchange.com
- click link “Follow It!”
- enter your e-mail
- click button “Submit”

(I was tempted to write this as a Watir script.)

Optionally, you can add on-topic and off-topic questions, and vote on other questions as on- or off-topic.

Feel free to spread the word on your Twitter/Facebook/blog…

If you want to learn more about stackexchange.com, read the FAQ.

Watir ad at stackoverflow.com

without comments

watir-so-2-1

New round of free advertising of open source projects at stackoverflow.com has just started.

We had 17 votes the last time, 6 were needed to be displayed at stackoverflow.com. The ad got a few complaints about not having any text. (I just copied our logo.)

This time I took a Creative Commons photo and added some text:

browser.goto 'watir.com'
# to learn more

browser.goto 'github.com/bret/watir'
browser.span(:text=>'Fork').click
# to contribute

Feel free to vote or comment for Watir ad at stackoverflow.com.

If anybody has an idea for different photo or text, please let me know.

Even better, read the stackoverflow.com blog post, create an add and submit it. Then let us know so we can vote for it. (There can be more that one proposal.)

CASE 22

without comments

I was at CASE 22 conference this week. It was three day conference, but I was there only the last half of the last day, so I can not say a lot about it. So, I will just mention Davor Banović‘s talk on usability testing.

Since that is all I know, I talked about Watir.

It was “old school” conference, looks like I was the only one tweeting (#case22 at twitter.com and case22 at identi.ca).
