Codeplex is archived. So where are the forums now?

Hi,

I actually wanted to asked a question about how to use Zyan with Named Pipes, but I couldn't find the forums to post this question (the English forum link seemed to go to Codeplex, and Codeplex is now only an archive/readonly).

Kind Regards,
E.

Ah, that's a good question... Forgot to remove the link from the website.
Looks like we don't have a support forum anymore. Stackoverflow perhaps?

Use IpcBinaryProtocolSetup, it works on top of the named pipes on Windows.
Here is the complete code sample: ipctest.cs.

Ok. I will use StackOverflow for future questions! :)

Thank you very much for replying back so quickly and answering my real question 👍 - I will now take a look at the sample code ipctest.cs.

Looks like I can't subscribe to StackOverflow questions filtered by some criteria.
So I'm hardly able to monitor SO questions like I used to monitor Codeplex discussions.

That's too bad.

So I'm currently evaluating GitQ as a support forum platform instead of the SO.
Not sure if the project is still maintained, but here is the link anyway: GitQ forum for Zyan.
Feel free to create a topic there, let's see how it works.

PS. Added a sample topic about named pipes.

The way we do this is create a new tag for our OSS project, then set up (mail) notifications for that tag.

https://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges/create-tags
https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/25224/email-notifications-for-new-questions-matching-specific-tags?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa

A public Slack or Gitter works, too, but that means you have to run additional software all day or keep a browser tab 😞

Thanks a lot for the tip @bddckr!

I've read a couple of questions about using SO as a discussion forum for open-source projects.
I may be wrong but it seemed to me that this approach isn't welcomed by SO team:

Creating a new tag isn't recommended unless a project has a large community and/or lots of questions already asked and answered, etc. Zyan just doesn't seem to be popular enough to deserve its own tag.

The last but not least, I haven't got enough reputation for creating a new tag there :)
