Where to find the CMake community

After getting involved with CMake, you may feel the need to exchange ideas and find a platform for asking questions of people who will likely know the answers. For that purpose, I have a few online platform recommendations for you.

Stack Overflow

Stack Overflow is a popular Q&A platform and the go-to place for most developers. If you are having an issue with CMake or have any questions, you can search for answers to your questions on Stack Overflow first. It is highly likely that someone has experienced that issue or asked the same or similar questions before. You can also take a look at the popular questions list to discover new ways of doing things with CMake.

When asking questions, ensure that you are labeling your questions with the cmake tag. This will allow individuals who are interested in answering CMake-related questions to find your question easier. You can access the Stack Overflow home page at https://stackoverflow.com/.
