Stack Exchange network consists of 183 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.
The issue we had in the past—we tried to get a site to beta years ago—is that there's very little overlap between the mainframe experts, and existing Stack* users. And you need that to get it to beta in the first place.If we can succeed in doing that, I think the site will do well... there are a lot of new folks on the platform that pretty much expect a Stack* site or equivalent, since that's what what they used at college etc.
Yes, there's a definite spread in the Venn diagram of folks who use mainframes, and those familiar with the Stack* family of sites. Several of the questions I'd agree should not be there... a learning experience for those who are new to the sites and the type and phrasing of questions. (And that's from an IBMer working on mainframe tech, a submitter of a proposal years ago for mainframes, and a Stack* regular.)
