  • Are we ready to let the world know about this site yet? What, if anything, do we still need to do or set up first?
  • I have created a bunch of help pages that are intended to give newcomers a good idea how to use the site, and what is expected of them. There is an infinite amount of information that could be provided. Do we have enough to go live?
  • Of course this site isn't a secret, and anyone can come here as it is, and we can't control who tells whom about it. I'm going to hold off my own efforts to make the site known out there until there is a consensus here that we're ready.

  • It's now over 24 hours since this was asked, and there have been no answers. There has been one comment from a bystander suggesting that there should be <i>something</i> here when people first visit. That makes sense. I've already written one canonical question and answer, with more planned. Hopefully others will add some of their own.
  • At this point I'm going to start letting people know about this site. It will take a while for people to poke their heads in, and more canonical questions will be added in the mean time. I'll also make it clear that this site is new, and therefore doesn't have an existing volume of questions. That's a feature! Your question won't get drowned under a flood of others.
