Hey all!

We got many questions today on our next move about Shapado.com

• First of all, if you want to import your site get in touch with us on shapado.com or on our chat in freenode shapado.com/chat and we’ll help you with the import process. Unfortunately stackexchange dumps do not contain enough information to make the import process fully automatic.

• About our paid plans, we will be out of beta in 5 months. Then, you will still get 2 months free for testing and only if you have more than 100,000 page views per month will we start charging you.

• About the free plan, shapado.com will always remain free for sites that don’t care about monetizing. Also, if you change your mind and want to monetize, you will be able to do so by upgrading to a paid plan.

• You will always be able to get your data in and out of shapado, we’ll provide you with help and tools to do easily.

• Our infrastructure makes use of a MongoDB cluster, MongoDB is a NoSQL database that was built for scaling guaranteeing that our platform will always be fast and responding.

• We are dedicated to bringing the best features and fixing bugs as fast as possible in Shapado as we have always done so far. We are all professional developpers, some of us well known in the free and open source community. We are all passionate about free software and want to make the best out of it.

• Remember that creating a Q&A site on shapado.com is a 5 seconds step, unlike others that need you to install it on your own server or that ask you to wait until they have time to install it for you.

We also have some very cool features/ideas we want to add to Shapado that will take it beyond the regular Q&A sites but first we want the basis to be rock solid.

Hope this answers most of your questions, as always if you have feature requests or bug reports, feel free to report them on shapado.com.

Thanks to all and have fun!
