Content deleted Content added
Cleaned up some of the flow, and added content that needs to be verified according to the Wikipedia standards - hence the addition of the related banners. |
basic facts about how it works should not be buried under "technology". also a correction: unregistered users can ask and answer questions. the paragraph is still pretty bad though. |

Stack Overflow is written in [[ASP.NET]] using the [[ASP.NET MVC]] ([[Model-View-Controller]]) framework.<ref name="soStack">[http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2008/09/what-was-stack-overflow-built-with/ What Was Stack Overflow Built With?] (last viewed: [[2009-02-26]])</ref> Unregistered users have access to most of the site's functionality, while users that choose to sign in using the installed [[OpenID]] service can gain access to the remaining functionality, i.e.: establishing a profile.
▲Through membership, the website features the ability for users to ask and answer questions, vote questions and answers up or down, and edit questions and answers in a wiki-style fashion. Users of Stack Overflow can earn reputation points and “badges”; for example, a person is awarded 10 reputation points for receiving an “up” vote on an answer given to a question, and can receive badges for their valued contributions.<ref name="soFAQ">[http://stackoverflow.com/faq#reputation Stack Overflow FAQ, “What is Reputation?”] (last viewed: [[2009-02-26]])</ref>
