Student, Teach Thyself - A Theoretical Computer Science QnA site

I've been a fan of Stackoverflow for a while.  Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky have helped the Internet turn a corner when it comes to helping people find answers to their questions.  Google may do an incredible job indexing pages but it would be to no avail if the pages themselves were all junk.

I don't have a ton of time to be on the new site-proposal system called area51.stachexchange.com. During one of my CS grad school classes, I asked a question regarding my schoolwork on the main Stackoverflow site and was underwhelmed by the responses.  Since the main site is more for working programmers who typically expect a code snippet as an answer, I figured the proposal for a site on theoretical computer science deserved a shout out.

Now if they would only restart their podcast.
