  • Coming at this from a totally different perspective here. I think all of the above mention many great points but I can't help but feel that we will find more success in the community by offering something totally different than SO.

Coming at this from a totally different perspective here. I think all of the above mention many great points but I can't help but feel that we will find more success in the community by offering something totally different than SO.

It needs to be broad enough that we can gather a large community without being so broad questions are all over the place.

A couple ideas:


 * Career advice QandA. Something totally different and you might love it or hate it but there'd be a huge market for it.

 * IDE QandA

 * A larger language tag like JavaScript or something where the community is big and we could try to offer something a bit more focused and unique. Maybe even something like advanced JS or functional JS or something like that.
