Change Details

* Can people subscribe to the components they are interested in / can provide expertise for? * Can questions get to be displayed on the workboard? From what I see, questions //can// have tags related to components (e.g. Q97 has #Arcanist), but I'm not sure whether questions are discoverable from outside the, well, questions. I'm trying to figure out if Ponder would be convenient to use on Wikimedia Phabricator. Wikimedia has a history of failed projects for community outreach, the last being [Discourse](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Discourse). So I'm trying to figure out, can Ponder work for us? As people from our community rightfully point out, "the hard part of starting a new forum for technical discussions is getting people who are ready and willing to answer questions to use it". Ponder seems promising in that respect – as both the Wikimedia devs and Wikimedia community are already using Phabricator. But if the level of integration of Ponder with the rest of the environment is low and Ponder is just an isolated section, providing answers would not be as convenient and organic for the devs as we would like it to be. Thanks.
