Over the course of the last week, I have been participating in the private beta of a new website, Stack Overflow.

The site is for programmers, by programmers and focussed on – you guessed it – programming.  So far it all looks pretty sweet.  Users aren’t required to register, and more importantly they aren’t required to pay to use the service (I’m looking at you, Experts Exchange!).  The overall quality of questions and answers seems pretty high, although I understand that the site is still in beta.  The quality may change once the site goes live, but the system of self management by the community should keep standard fairly high overall.

If you want to keep up to date with the project, and hopefully learn when the public launch is going to happen check out the blog.
