Chatterbot: Forum or discusgroup?

[quintendewilde]

Is there a discusgroup or forum where there can be talked about chatterbot?

I'm having problems importing custom corpus in the Djange example on heroku. And I don't want to bother the Issues everytime.

Would be nice and good to create a community.

Currently there isn't one. I wouldn't be opposed to creating a community forum for ChatterBot.

Do you have any recommendations or examples of other projects that do a good job of this?

Stackoverflow - but there's a barrier crossing for beginners. (They policy of comments/posting/etc...)
Google Groups page? - Openface has one and I got answers pretty quick though not a solution and there's a better chance of solutions with stackoverflow. (do to the same policy)
Hitchhike on a pythonforum or in my case a django forum...
I would like to contribute, but my knowledge isn't sufficient to act as a helpful wizard in chatterbotfora/community. I would mostly ask the questions myself. But this wil be in a long run helpful for other beginners at python, django etc... and this in using chatterbot.

Right now I think I'm leaning towards Stack Overflow. Google even uses it for many of their Python packages. I do agree that there is a barrier for beginners but I think that may possibly be a positive element because there are a lot of other resources out there for absolute beginners when it comes to programming. I may be wrong about this, but from my perspective it is somewhat beneficial if some of the beginner
questions get filtered out. Maintaining open source projects can be a lot of work and it is easier if the maintainers can focus on fixing bugs and evolving the software.

I think the massive community backing Stack Overflow would also be helpful for answering some of the more general questions that come up.

Right now I don't have enough points on Stack Overflow to create a chatterbot tag. I'll look into seeing if I can find someone to create it. If not I will work on answering some questions on there until I have enough points to create the tag.

Feel free to.

Well I have some reputation Raja Simon. Shall I create tag in SO. Can't wait to bring this community to SO. So amazing.

[gunthercox]

@rajasimon If you can create the chatterbot tag, that would be very much appreciated.

Hey, awesome that this is becoming something. Would you mind asking a thourough explanation to use a own corpuses and activating them on the django platform?

[gunthercox]

@rajasimon Thank you. This is going to make a huge difference in how questions are able to be asked and allowing them to be responded to.

@BLCKPSTV There is a ticket currently open requesting more documentation for ChatterBot's Django integration. I will be adding additional documentation as soon as possible. Feel free to open a ticket if you think any examples or additional explanations would benefit the project documentation.
