Link to lhcbqa.web.cern.ch/

[KonstantinSchubert]

This is a proposal inform students about the existence of https://lhcbqa.web.cern.ch/ somewhere in the lessons.

If you have a suggestion where to add it, I can make a pull request.

Honestly, I'm a bit hesitant in adding this in the lessons, since it's not
officially sanctioned. While I like the idea very much, right now it's just
adding more noise to the already complicated world of finding useful
information, since it doesn't duplicate information on the twiki. In a
sense, the way things are right now it's still more useful to complete the
twiki, as much as I hate it.

Either this becomes something more official and as unique as possible or I
would leave it out of the lessons. Too much confusion.

Okay, I understand. Really.
I like how well-structured the lessons are and I would hate to be the one who starts cluttering them.

It is hard getting something new off the ground. Without momentum, there's a danger that any Q&As that are made are lost because people don't use the service, but on the other hand it could become an excellent resource.

The getting help lesson would be a good place to put a link I think.

[KonstantinSchubert]

I have thought about this for a bit.

I completely agree with @apuignav that the starterkit should not recommend https://lhcbqa.web.cern.ch/lhcbqa/ above the twiki as a source of information.

However, almost all questions posted on lhcbqa have been answered within a couple of days. This means, in my opinion, that lhcbqa already provides a tangible benefit to the user, even if it is not (yet?) officially sanctioned.
Maybe this is an argument to at least include a link to it in the getting help lesson, as proposed by Alex? Maybe with a disclaimer that it is experimental?

I like it in the getting help lesson.

This seems to be resolved by lhcb/first-analysis-steps#170.
