Disconnect between ES and ED

Hi guys.

First off, don't think what I am about to write is in any way a criticism of your products. It's merely observations... (Mark, you know I'm one of your biggest fans for what you've created with ES!!!)

I am currently putting together a community website which allows people to post questions and receive answers, an "experts exchange" site if you will.

To achieve this, I also want a "community" feel to the site. So what better pairing of ES and ED, right?

Until you start trying to put together the site. There is a huge disconnect between ES and ED. Yes, I know, you're working hard on EB5. But the problem is that ES and ED should play nicely together. You've created some mechanisms for ED to talk to ES, but it's a one-way street.

Here are some of the problems I've run into.


  1. ED doesn't play nicely with mod_pagespeed
  2. ES and ED don't talk to each other - for example, ED posts on ES timeline. If you reply to a post on ES timeline, it doesn't get forwarded to the same ED discussion
  3. There's no way to incorporate ED discussions into ES groups
  4. You can't vote on ED discussions from the ES timeline
  5. A "like" for a timeline entry relating to an ED post on the ES timeline isn't reflected as a "like" on the ED discussion
  6. ED polls cannot be integrated into the ES timeline


These are just some of the problems I've run into so far. In essence, the two products, when put together, only work on a limited basis.

I love StackIdeas products, and really love the ES product. In fact, it seems that the whole ED system should be integrated into ES to make the user experience translucent, fluid, and less "clunky".

Would welcome your thoughts on this. Currently, I am beginning to wonder if my project is effectively dead in the water because of this disconnect?
