I’m in the beta for StackOverflow.com, a site for programmers to ask and answer questions, with cool features like “reputation scores” and voting and badges. Now maybe it’s because it’s the beta and so it’s self-selected for people who are motivated to do things, but so far it’s already totally supplanted comp.lang.java.* as the place I want to ask or answer questions.
I’m hoping it will continue to be my favourite question and answer place when it’s overrun by spammers and “first post” losers.

Nifty. I’ve bookmarked that and will keep an eye out for it to come out of beta.

The last StackOverflow podcast mentioned Tuesday as a probably roll-out date, but then yesterday they had an hour or so when the site was down. So don’t count on it.

I’m in on the beta too, and I’ve been impressed with the quality of the site and of the questions and answers. I really hope it doesn’t go to pot when “the masses” hit it.
