So the people who make Stack Overflow are working on a system by which communities can make customized question-asking-and-answering sites. This has been available before—it's called Stack Exchange—but previously it has been a paid service. Now they're getting a free version out, and I think it would be awesome if some support could be drummed up for a StarCraft II Galaxy Editor subsite on Stack Exchange. It would work very similarly to Stack Overflow (if you've never been there, check it out—it's a pretty good site), and it would be entirely community-run. The format is sort of a cross between a forum, a wiki, and a upvote/downvote site. It's good for questions and answers, but not for much else, so it wouldn't really intersect with fansites' territory. I have a feeling that if we could get it going, it'd be rather well frequented, especially once the Battle.net Marketplace comes out.
If you're interested, head over to the proposal (you can sign in using your Google account or an OpenID), follow it, and maybe submit an example question or two. I don't think the entire system for getting a Stack Exchange site set up is in place yet, but once it is, we'd need 60 followers, ten examples of on-topic questions, and ten examples of off-topic questions (the example questions help the site work out what its role in life is). Thanks all.
