TeXOverflow.com? Sounds good

A Stack­Over­flow sib­ling site ded­i­cated to LaTeX (or TeX in gen­eral) ques­tions has been pro­posed. How­ever, the site won’t be launched unless enough prospec­tive users indi­cate that they’re will­ing to use it.

As a LaTeX user, I’d love to see this take off. Imag­ine that, not hav­ing to scour Google and ran­dom news­group archives and forum posts just to fig­ure out why [X] isn’t work­ing in your LaTeX doc­u­ment, or how to do [Y].

Imag­ine hav­ing a site based on the Stack­Over­flow soft­ware, where knowl­edge­able users are actu­ally going to see your ques­tion, and answer it, and even rate the answers so you know which ones are of the high­est quality.

I wish we had a site like that when I was a student.

So go and com­mit to using the site:. The site won’t be launched until it has gath­ered a crit­i­cal mass of supporters.
