[idea] Q&A website

[at15]

idea issuer: @at15

Since WeCenter sucks https://github.com/dyweb/wecenter/issues/15, it's time to create a new Q&A site

Required Features:

• Provide RESTful API
• Single page application preferred
• Have admin dashboard
• Login using email+pwd & OAuth, ie: GitLab, GitHub
• Full text search

Required skills

• PHP/Golang/Node.JS/Python as backend language
• JavaScript/TypeScript (no coffescript and scalajs:)) + AngularJS/React/Vue for front end
• HTML
• CSS (SCSS preferred)
• MySQL/Pg/MongoDB
• ElasticSearch/XunSearch

Potential use case:

• Dy internal Q&A
• Q&A for Tongqu
• Q&A for outsource, ship a Q&A with some default answers, so those *** won't ask same dumb thing every time. (like: How do I install PHP on ubuntu)

Example

• http://wenda.wecenter.com/?www
• http://ik.hustonline.net/

Extra notes

• If choose PHP, it may (should) share some packages with the new Tongqu (Tongqu5) which use Slim and Eloquent ORM.
• If choose XunSearch, then must choose PHP due to lack of SDK

• Design? ~~copy~~

Kind of too large......

@ComMouse any idea?

[gaocegege]

我觉得这是一个很大而且很不紧急的任务。。。

[ComMouse]

Until no new project is available... Too hard for a starter project

[arrowrowe]

Algolia may be another choice? @at15 @ComMouse

• Documentation, Guides and Tutorials for Hosted Search | Algolia

@arrowrowe I thought about algolia when I wrote the issue, however, using algolia will give you less control. It is a good choice for weekly though.

A potential use is to build bbs-like sites on campus focusing on areas like Recruiting, Course Election, Oversea Study, etc.
