stackoverflow.com-esque go site: We're almost there...

m

I have used Senseis Library many times.

The thing about stackexchange sites like stackoverflow.com is that they are simply more user-friendly than SL pages or forums for that matter.

On stackoverflow.com (which is about programming languages), all questions/answers are 1) sorted 2) tagged and ...

Re: New go site, flavored like mathoverflow.net

I have a feeling some people may think that the site is meant to be like an organized forum. The site isn't meant to replace a forum. It is about pure strategy, or references.

Re: New go site, flavored like mathoverflow.net

I posted that in the wrong forum, not realizing that there was a forum for new websites.

unstructured forms of information useful for getting real knowledge, just like
