How to create a collaborative question answer management system like this one? I want to make one for my school where students can ask questions and find answers. I tried forums, pligg e.t.c. but they didn't appeal much. I want something exactly like stackoverflow.
There is an open-source Stack Overflow clone written in C# that's been mentioned a few times recently here called stacked, and the question has been asked before.

I downloaded magento 1.7.0.2. I was surfing for the past week and testing tutorials on the net and found that most of them is so confusing. For example... They had a path that tells where to put your layout page then when I look at the magento in ftp, the structure is very different from what they are explaining.
Most of the tutorials I found are more than a year old and are probably not compatible with the latest version. That's why I'm looking for the most recent tutorial I could find.
I hope there is a tutorial similar to phpfox knowledge base. Only a few chapters and few examples but covers everything you need to know in creating modules...
If someone could point me to, i would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you in advance...
don't have a link, but as 1.7.0.2 has been out for almost a year, so you could expect it to be the case.
Whilst it's aimed at 'design/layout', I would also suggest going through the designer guide. It's a painful read, but it help me a great deal to understand Magento methodology and where things are 'meant' to be in file structure. It may just help you to find tut references as sometime things in the 'less than best' location still works.
depending on your extension type their wiki may have a few nuggets.
Hay did you read magento developer part 1 to 8? If not link is HERE
That a pretty good example and explanation (basic to advanced).

I am contemplating writing a useful article in a field of my interest. There are many others (about 10-15) people interested in peer reviewing and collaborating on the same. I am not a prolific programmer, but I understand how GitHub works for version control.
Can I use it for writing a 4-5 page collaborative article (version control is very important part) or do you think a better alternative exists?
You certainly could, but I don't know if it's the best choice. A couple of questions come to mind. Is this a text-based document format or are you planning on doing your writing in something like MS Word? If the former then I think it could work well. If the latter I would say it may be less effective.
What about your other collaborators? Are they savvy enough to use a DVCS? That would have some influence as well. I don't know how strongly you need the document versioned, but I could see using git as overkill.
I've found that using Google Docs works well and has a revision history, although it's obviously not as robust as would be found in a VCS.
I think it would work great. The Ruby on Rails guides are on a publicly write/readable repository at GitHub, for instance. You get get Git things for free (branches, blame, general version control features), plus you'll have a reliable backup and publishing mechanism if you like.
Given that the contributers are computer literate enough to successfully use Git, that is.
If you write it in Markdown, you can throw inline HTML into it (just by itself like you can do on Stack Overflow). Easy to write, easy to style, etc.
You can, but on the other hand:
Most wikis allow rich-content pages easyly, are ready for collaborative editing and have versioning and version-management embedded in the core.
One promissing recent development is penflip (https://www.penflip.com/) which was created with the idea of being a "github for text".

Consider using google docs. They have some kind of version control. And it is much more suitable for this kind of work.

Does anyone know of a site, newsgroup, message board, etc. where I can submit some of my Scala code to have it "reviewed" by experienced Scala developers? The code works and whatnot, but I'd really like to learn to be more idiomatic when coding Scala, and often I find myself reverting to more imperative like development because I can't find a "better way."
Try on Code Review
My advice is to upload your project to github - make sure to add copyright and licensing information. Then post the one or two relevant short snippets on Code Review and link to your project on github.
Note that there are plenty of questions here on stackoverflow where users have asked to turn something that is imperative to something more functional or idiomatic. The key is to break down your problems into distinct issues you're trying to solve then take the one that has the most chance to get an answer and ask a question about it. If you can make it self contained then that really good. See https://stackoverflow.com/search?tab=relevance&q=%5bscala%5d%20%20idiomatic for some ideas...

Any recommendations on good sites/resources on programming with the Cocos2d-iPhone game engine?
What worked for you? What is the canonical place for all things Cocos2d? Any sites you recommend? Best practices? Blogs?
Much appreciated
I have used those sites and have also found Ray Wenderlich's tutorials very useful.
http://www.raywenderlich.com/352/how-to-make-a-simple-iphone-game-with-cocos2d-tutorial
Also there are several references available here too:
http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/wiki/doku.php/resources:iphone_recommended_reading
Happy coding! B)
ADDITION:
I found these two questions have many great resources too:
https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/q/2326/1037
https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/q/20/1037
I've found monitoring #cocos2d on Twitter can sometimes turn up some interesting articles. Cocos2D blog is usually pretty active and points out available tutorials once and a while like the following...
http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/archives/582
Take a look through their wiki as there is a bunch of useful articles there as well...
http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/wiki/doku.php/
Cocos2d forums worked for most of my issues. riq, the author of Cocos is there answering many questions.
I have a Cocos2d Resources page that i keep updating as i find new material and learn more:
http://www.gaminghorror.net/cocos2d-iphone-resources/
I'm sharing the generally re-usable parts of my source code together with cleaned up and bugfixed modifications or rewrites of other's code (credits given) as well as any link that i've used or find useful for cocos2d developers. I don't stop at cocos2d though, i also post links to solutions for issues every iPhone developer will come across sooner or later.

Looking for an attractive, highly customizable forum plugin to implement. Don't want to build one myself, but don't want to settle for usual crap. Something Ajax-y?
Was leaning towards Community Server but would love to see what others had to reccomend.
Thanks.
EDIT: This is an ASP.NET/C#/SQL application
See http://ask.metafilter.com/52003/Good-community-forum-software
Options
Lussumo's Vanilla
Simple Machines
BBPress
Attractive is subjective, so you'll need to look around.
If you don't already have authentication or anything running, you might check out Active Forums that runs within DotNetNuke. I've been using it and I'm very happy thus far, ajax paging for users, standard paging for bots, social bookmarking built in, and many other nice items.
YetAnotherForum is ASP.NET/C#/SQL like your application and it looks very nice. I'm not sure about AJAX though.
It can run in DotNetNuke, Rainbow, or stand-alone.
