answering/asking SO questions from emacs.?

Question

Right now I am using gnus to read SO questions by subscribing interested tags from gwene. I can only see/read the Question and not the answers.

Is there a plugin to answer/ask SO question. Of course I can use edit-server to compose the messages from QA.

But I want to know is there any way to bring all the things to emacs foothold.

PS: I hope this question will not be moved to meta for discussion Since it relates more of programming in elisp

UPDATE: is there any other slimier sort of thing exists for other editors/IDEs/something_else ??

Answer 1

I asked a similar question on Meta stack: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/116521/authenticating-self-using-stackoverflow-api

StackOverflow API Version 1.0+ does not support these functions.

The 2.0 Version intends to include features allowing us to authenticate/sign-on and interact view the API.

This link (from the Meta question) will take you to the 2.0 API Private Beta site.

That should make the answer more definitive.
