 June 17, 2011 - 2:03pm | Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone who is interested. I'm supporting a proposal to create a new Q&A website for expert and amateur astronomers and astrophysicists. It's a great place to get any astronomy questions you have answered. It's built on the same software as stackoverflow.com, a hugely popular site where over seven million programmers help each other with difficult programming problems. On Stack Overflow the audience votes for the best answer, so the answer you want is usually right at the top, not on page five. I'm hoping that a site for expert and amateur astronomers and astrophysicists would have the same kind of network effect and turn into an amazing resource. The public beta is going on here, if you're interested in participating: http://astronomy.stackexchange.com You'll proabably be able to figure out which user I am by my avatar on the site (if you don't already know my other internet handle).
