I think that the way stackoverflow with the reputation system is really good. For a private project I would like to create a website with forum / profiles / ... that also uses a kind of reputation system. In this way people can only do several things (creating items in lists, ...) if they already have some reputation points.
Reading things about buddypress shows that it could be the right platform for this project.
Is there already something like the reputation system in the buddypress core or via extension available?
Does buddypress support subdomains?
The http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/membership/ membership extensions looks really good. The difference for me would be that the membership depends on the reputation points. Unfortunately the required full membership extension costs to much for a private project and the free version only supports two membership status. Is there something equal?

My project is about the same as yours and I also decided buddypress would be the best platform for it, so far I really only found these answers:

http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/qa-wordpress-questions-and-answers-plugin
http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-reputation/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bainternet-user-ranks/
I figure worst case, if I can't get any of those to work, there maybe some way to use this plugin: http://www.gdstarrating.com/ to simulate ranking users.... Hope that helps, let me know what you go with and why.

I am in the market for a raspberry pi or alternative. I've done quite a bit of research but I can't find a raspberry pi alternative that is both more powerful, but also has the same community and add on options. So, can anyone suggest an alternative?
Note:I want one for recreation, I.E. building a robot arm, but I also want to run a low scale server.
Thanks in advance!
I love following #cnxsoft on Twitter and his blog at http://www.cnx-software.com/.
I suggest you to go to his blog and see tags like http://www.cnx-software.com/tag/development-board/ there is every week at least one new board with more and more powerful processors and lower prices... Find one that fits your needs(OS, Pins...)
I'm also not sure why this is marked with tags like "xamarin-studio" :)
I am not sure if this is the right forum, the scope seems too broad. So don't be surprised if this is closed as offtopic.
Can you say what alternatives you have looked at so far?
Try looking into the following and see if they fit your requirement :

I think you are thinking of the bananapi, or the hummingboard.

Here's my big and dirty list of SEO/analytics sites and services. As far as I can tell, none of them can give me a table of most viewed URLs by unit time for some arbitrary domain or subdomain (or the Internet as a whole). How can I get that, or something that approximates it nicely, paid or free?

thanks for mentioning serpIQ! I work with the company and it's always nice to be included. To answer your question, I don't think that any of the tools you listed (or any I can think of myself) can do what you're asking. The only thing that may be able to would be custom reporting for Google Analytics, or some other metrics tracking SaaS - I know we don't offer it as part of our product. Hope that helps!

How to manage community documentation of open source software [closed]

Can anyone give advice, or point to any guides, on how to manage a community of open source software developers in writing api documentation?
A typical, unmanaged, starting point for most projects is to have a project wiki where anyone can freely create pages, add content to existing pages, edit existing content etc. The problem is that, despite people's best intentions, the wiki can easily end up being a disorganised, poorly written, incomplete, written in disparate voices etc etc.
So, what to do to improve the quality of the documentation?
I suspect a key ingredient is clear editorial/style guidelines, something similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Encyclopedic_style#Information_style_and_tone. Can anyone point to an example of such a guide tailored specifically to software apis?
Are there any other practices that people have found useful? E.g. form a core team of editors and accept that most documentation that gets added by the community will most likely need to be 'strongly edited'?
The short answer, that the solution is social/human and not technical. The way to get good documentation for any project is to have someone with time, in charge of doing high level organization for the documentation, and then being involved in the development and user communities to ensure that the documentation remains up to date and continues to address the problems and confusions that users typically have.
Community projects have accepted that you need point people (i.e. "managers," for aspects of the project like "translation," and "release," and for various components. The same thing needs to happen for documentation.
As for tools, Sphinx is really great though it's not "wiki like," exactly you can use whatever version control system your project is comfortable with to store documentation and configure your web server to rebuild the documentation following commits/updates/pushes. Which has always worked just fine for any project I've worked on/with.

How to describe a platform to non-developers? [closed]

I've been trying to describe the concept of platforms to some non-developer people on my team. I'm trying to explain how platforms are more than just tools and environments. For example, the Facebook Platform. How to describe the fact that the platform is more than just the website, but includes protocols like XFBML, opengraph, etc.
Facebook Platform is one example, but I would be interested if anyone has an abstracted way to describe what 'platforms' are in the tech world. I've had difficulty explaining this concept before in situations unrelated to flash.
Analogies that aren't tech related would be helpful as well.
I would say something about it being all-inclusive and extending to include all functionality that the entire ecosystem around that particular piece of software needs to thrive.
The Wikipedia page might help in putting it into words: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_platform
I use a "restaurant" metaphor, myself: Think of the kitchen, the bar, the dining room as components to the platform. How the decor can change in the dining room without changing the function, but can affect how customers perceive the business. How the recipes instruct the cooks, and the interactions with the wait staff can all affect different aspects of the business much like different pieces of your platform can be modified to affect different aspects of your business. Oh, and don't forget management!

I'm wondering if there is any Wiki solutions that perfectly fit an API documentation and let you nicely list the end points and parameters/responses.
Any recommandations?
Thanks
take a look at MindTouch.
API Documentation is one of the ways the developer site http://developer.mindtouch.com makes use of the product
Not a direct answer to this question but definitely a good starting point to help you get answered:
I had the same questions and initially thought PBWorks since that's who Twitter originally used for their API Wiki and in the past I've used Google Sites (on the Kwwika Wiki) since it's effectively a wiki.
I'm sure that if you want a more automated solution that will allow you to auto create your wiki from a build process then there will be solutions such as Read the Docs.
All this said I think a really good starting point is WikiMatrix and their Wiki Choice Wizard.
