Consider SDP (Search Driven Programming) ideas

Open jafingerhut opened this issue 12 years ago • 1 comments

Nothing terribly specific here now -- just some summarized, perhaps even mangled by my bad memory, feedback from the audience at the Bay Area Lisp meetup:

Embrace and extend the techniques of people who do "Search Driven Programming", i.e. Google with the right keywords when you run across a problem. We won't be replacing Google, but we can provide tips on better search terms to use that get more focused results, e.g. " +clojure site:stackoverflow.com", and perhaps even send those terms to Google in their web browser for them.

Make it more social. Find out who wrote the examples so you can ask them a question? The data to do this might already be available on ClojureDocs.org.

The best I could do for now is to add a Stackoverflow menu item that will search for "clojure" and the local name of the selected fqn or the namespace/class. We could add an additional Google search that would do the same...
