How do you start an on-line community
QA site similar to stackoverflow?


This question was answered recently by Joel Spolsky:


We learned a long time ago that the
only way to get questions answered
promptly is to have a critical mass of
knowledgeable users, so we have an
onerous process called Area 51 where
sites are proposed, discussed, and
voted on. If a proposed site doesn’t
have critical mass, we just won’t
create it.
