This comes as proposal "a", with area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/3527/… being "b". Waiting for feedback. – Kensai Jun 4 '10 at 4:23

@Guildencrantz Hmm, I've thought about it, and I agree. However, I put this title just to make it clear that we want specialists here, that it's with them in mind primarily that the site will be made for joelonsoftware.com/items/2010/04/19.html meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5533/… – Kensai Jun 22 '10 at 19:02

@Kenji, @Guildencrantz: Joel makes a convincing argument on the same topic in the most recent podcast. I support the 'a' and 'b' division you've set up. It occurs to me this will be the rub of the new proposal system in 2.0: the specialists who would define the topic and find it most useful for their purposes are scarce; instead, the community here is largely programmers understandably interested in only the Q&As that pertain to them.blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/03/podcast-86 – Matt Jul 11 '10 at 1:03
