Congratulations all the participants and winners.

I feel a lot learned thru this event.

This event gave an oppertunity to explore ideas (from feature requests) which I couldn't look earlier and try them along with regular community questions and special questions by @sonya_m (Smartbear team, I see lot of effort had put into to come up innovatively) which extracted lot of technical information of the most powerful features of the product.

Believing that community would get great benefit out of this kind of events. And more over this is encouraging and rewarding. Thanks you so much Smartbear team.

The content came up via this events is awesome. However, is there better way to access these threads (specially the tecnical questions by Sonya) for quick access for later references such as KB article or part of documentation improvement or resources or any otherway which you think better?

Becuase, these threads are difficult to search / find over time in the QA.

@nmrao indeed we are assigning special tags to threads each event. You can find API Masterminds-related things under the API Masterminds tag like so.

I am glad you enjoyed the event!

Hmm. I was talking about for the easiness to find the content at a common place for the benefit of new members.

If get time, then there is no difference. Every time I see a new question is an opportunity to understand, learn new use cases from community.

@nmrao we also have a TechCorner tag - there we try keeping some useful stuff! If you feel like posting any content of this kind, feel free to use this tag, too. This is like a collection of scripts and articles.
