Stack Sheriff
Stack Sheriff - Stack Exchange Article Management tool
Project Summary
The objective of this project was to create a tool that could track and validate the relevance of Stack Exchange articles. This tool was intended to be used to create training materials for the business and our Tier 1 support group, thereby decreasing the number of escalations our Engineers had to handle during their on-call shift.
