Thanks to Pierre for finding this. Math Overflow (http://mathoverflow.net/) actually seems to work and has a community, but the listed sites have almost no audience (yet). Seems Ask Sci is slightly ahead, though. - Michael Kuhn

Here are some recent threads from this room that _could_ also work on Ask Sci (et al.): http://friendfeed.com/the-lif... http://friendfeed.com/the-lif... http://friendfeed.com/the-lif... - Michael Kuhn

re Ask Sci: the homepage listed for the the admin is some kind of shopping portal, which is a bit strange - Michael Kuhn

http://sciencestack.com and http://mathoverflow have LaTex formulas support which is a must for a Science-oriented Q/A site. - Jane Breezler

@Jane: some of us in this room do think that StackOverflow-for-scientists would be a good idea, but please adhere to the guidelines of this room: "Try not to spam and if you are associated with a service (and most don't know that), please say so." – If you're associated w/ sciencestack, we'd love to have a discussion about how such a thing could actually work (or why MathOverflow seems to work, and asksci / sciencestack no [yet]) - Michael Kuhn

Isn't "science" too broad for this? Don't we need smaller units (i.e. chemoverflow, biostack?) Lots of the science questions are very general-sciencey. - Matthew Todd

Despite the fact that sometimes good solution come from people in a different field I would agree with Matthew. More specific sides would reduce the noise for the majority of users. - Konrad Förstner

Well, StackOverflow also has a huge range of topics. The problem with e.g. splitting chemistry and biology is that you then don't know where to put your biochemistry questions. ;) The tagging system (interesting / ignored tags) should help with that. - Michael Kuhn

@Michael: Thanks for the notice. + for mentioning the tagging system! @All: Please direct your discussion and suggestions on Stack Overflow for scientists to http://friendfeed.com/science... - Jane Breezler
