Game Modding Q&A Website Design

Summary

  • Like a stack overflow for game modding questions
  • Users submit "queries" - elastic search finds possible answers, user can publish a public question if answers aren't sufficient
  • Questions have tags to categorize them appropriately - can be added on question creation, by admins, or sufficiently reputable users (maybe?)
  • Users can submit answers to questions and make comments on questions/answers

Requirements

  • User accounts
    • OAuth or account linking maybe?
  • Tags
    • Tags can be managed by admins
    • Examples:
      • Game: Skyrim
      • Subject: Mod Creation
      • Tool: Creation Kit
      • NPCs
