After a recent alpha testing period we are very happy to announce Ask Amiga at askamiga.com (http://askamiga.com). A free online resource in a similar vein to Stack Overflow where users can come to ask and answer technical questions related to Amiga and all it's relations, software and hardware.
For a system that's thirty years old there is already a wealth of information available on the internet. However, we wanted to provide a resource that would be easily searchable with concise answers. We hope this resource will encourage new fans to come to Amiga and that the current generation of passionate users won't be the last.There are still some items in the pipeline such as a database export of questions and answers. For the short-term we are focused on any teething issues that might surface with an increased user base. Soon then we will cast away the beta sticker! Other features coming next will be an area for meta discussion as well as automatically granting rights such as editor etc., which is currently a manual process of checking each interval who has reached a certain score on the site.
Anyone interested in asking or answering, please head on over to the site. You can create an account or use Google, Twitter or Facebook authentication. Last time checked, you can also view the site on IBrowse but not up-vote or down-vote. Many thanks to the beta testers as well as a special mention to Christopher Follett of ultimateamiga.co.uk for hosting!

Thats a real nice site! Something I think will be a great tool if it is used regularly as long as a lot of people are contributing.

Thanks for the feedback! And of course for the participation :) Good luck with your question Kolla. I have to say, the questions are really inspiring me to get coding.
And absolutely right, the more use it gets the better. This is like a fermentation process (think wine, not manure :) ) Once there are enough questions to justify it I'll add a bulk download for a encyclopidic style file you can peruse. Almost certainly with an Amiga guide format option :)

Got my question answered too, very good! :D
