Finally a month ago we got version 1.0 of quomon.com public! I’ve been busy travelling and didn’t get to post about it before now.

The website is a web 2.0 inspired forum for IT professionals to get problems solved and for IT experts to gain prestige. It uses a point system that motivates quick answers and makes it easy to recognize experts in their fields of expertice. It implements tagging and uses AJAX to enhance the usability and serves all information as RSS feeds as well. Quomon.com is developed in asp.net and uses open source frameworks like NHibernate, dotlucene.net, anthem.net to enhance it’s functionality.

I had the original idea a couple of years ago, but needed people to help me develop it, and finally I managed to establish a good development team that made the site even better than I could have thought. I can’t disguise it, I’m pretty proud. Having said that, we have a looooong todo list and we will probably get more now that people will be begin to use the site.

It’s going to be interesting to see how this develops over the next couple of months. We have high expectations and the feedback we are receiving is very positive.
