As my first post to the mailing list, I want to say that I'm hugely excited 
by the proposal to have a lojban stackexchange site. I'm excited for many 
of the same reasons as Alexander above. StackExchange is a highly optimized 
medium for creating clear and relevant question and answer snippets. It 
means that I can google for a question about lojban and actually get an 
answer. The answer will have just the right amount of context. It will be 
vetted and updated. Discussion will be minimized to make the actual answer 
stand out. 

There are many lojban sites and projects that I love, but lojban's overall 
web presence is extremely confusing. I just can't easily figure out which 
sites I'm supposed to read, which are archival, which are redundant, which 
are talking about older versions, etc. Mailing lists have their place, but 
I am vastly more likely to participate actively in a stackexchange site.

It will bring in proportionally more programmers, but that's always been 
lojban's main audience of appeal. The english language stackexchange is 
also really popular, so we might get lots of interested linguists and 
multilinguists as well.

Overall I just imagine a stackexchange site will do a lot to smooth out the 
learning curve for me. I can imagine getting interested enough to be a 
moderator or an author of longer writings.
