Lambda the Ultimate

For those who aren't familiar with Stack Exchange, it's essentially set of specialized Q&A sites built on the model and software of Stack Overflow, which LtU folks are hopefully already familiar with.

The Theoretical Computer Science site is now in public beta. Thus far, the overwhelming emphasis is on complexity theory. However, it also aims to be (and should prove to be) a good home for discussions on all PLT-related topics (types, logic, semantics, implementation issues, etc.). It should be a particularly good place to redirect questions to that are off-topic for LtU (especially design discussions and "how to" questions).

The Stack Exchange FAQ explains the following about the Beta phase: "This is the actual, live site set up on a 'probationary' basis to see if people will use it. It is very important to participate early. The earliest questions will set the tone and topic of the site for a long time. This is also the time to spread the word via Twitter, blogs, and email far and wide. If the site does not get used, it will be deleted."

Perhaps an editor could post this announcement to the front page as well?
