CCL: StackOverflow-like Q&A site for computational chemistry

 Sent to CCL by: "David S. Hollman" [dhollman===ccqc.uga.edu]
 Many of you are probably familiar with the popular programming and computer
 science question and answer site stackoverflow.com.  Like many
 of these types of websites, (yahoo answers, etc.), StackOverflow allows users to
 post questions or answer questions that others have asked,
 creating a searchable database of common problems that programmers have.  The
 difference is that StackOverflow has focused on creating a
 community of experts, which effectively filters out the
 high-schooler-homework-help types of questions.  The StackOverflow team has
 recently
 launched a new site called StackExchange, where users are encouraged to suggest
 topics for new StackOverflow-like websites.  Any topics that
 make it through the screening process become dedicated websites hosted,
 maintained, and paid for by the StackOverflow team.  In order to
 establish that there is a large enough online community of experts to make the
 site viable, a proposed StackExchange topic first needs 60
 "followers" who are interested in the topic.  Then it needs 200 people
 to "commit" to participated in a private beta before they launch a
 website.
 I have recently proposed a Computational Chemistry site in Area51, which is what
 they call the StackExchange staging area.  I would appreciate
 it if people on CCL would take a couple of minutes to "follow" this
 proposal so that we can move into the next step in the process.  The URL of
 the proposal is:
 http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/19727/computational-chemistry?referrer=Di3XslRnv5x6zBRaqbsfBg2
 If you already have a StackOverflow account, then following the proposal is as
 easy as associating your stackoverflow.com account with Area51
 and clicking "follow."  Otherwise, particularly if you have a Google,
 Yahoo, or other OpenID account, signing up for StackExchange is just as easy.
 Don't worry, none of the StackExchange sites send any sort of unsolicited e-mail
 or anything, and of course all of this is completely free.
 Thanks!
