I’m a big fan of a site called Stack
Overflow. It’s a surprisingly useful Q&A site for posting programming
questions, and getting answers from the community. The site has been immensely
successful and is now often the first place I go to find answers to those vexing
questions. One of the things I like most about it is that both the
questions and answers get voted on by the community. As a result, the best
stuff surfaces to the top. You have to really use it to appreciate it. 
In any case, I’m a big fan of the site. So, I was thrilled when Joel Spolsky (who, along with Jeff Atwood of Coding Horror) decided to make the software that powers Stack Overflow available to others. I immediately reached out to Joel to see if I could get early access to the software. (I’m speaking at Joel’s Business of Software conference coming up in San Francisco, so we had communicated recently anyways).
I got access to the software a little while ago and am pleased to announce that a new collaborative Q&A site for entrepreneurs is now launched and ready for your use.
Here's the link: Answers.OnStartups.com
I have a long list of exceptional entrepreneurs I know well enough to arm-twist into participating in the community. Here's a sample (in no specific order):
1) Adam Smith, Xobni
2) Drew Houston, DropBox
3) Jay Meattle, Shareaholic
4) Mike McDerment, FreshBooks
5) Neil Davidson, RedGate Software, Business of Software
7) Brian Shin, Visible Measures
8) Sachin Agarwal, Posterous
9) Peldi Guilizonni, Balsamiq
10) David Cancel, Compete.com, Performable
11) Brian Halligan, HubSpot
12) Alexis Ohanian, Reddit
13) Andy Payne, angel investor
14) Rand Fishkin, SEOmoz
15) Don Dodge, Microsoft
16) Nivi, VentureHacks
I've got many more, but you get the idea. I know, I'm name-dropping a bit here, but I promise I will do my best into guilting these people to share their experience and insights.

Hope you’ll find it a useful resource. If you have ideas on how we might make it better, please let me know.
Meanwhile, please help me spread the word. The early days of a community like this are always the hardest (in a “chicken and egg” sort of way).
Thanks for your support.
