I am a user at stackoverflow too. And it is my personal opinion that I
am not interested in separating GIS from the "rest" of the topics on
their site, I have recieved great result asking programming questions,
postgis/postgres related questions and in return I often answer GIS
related questions. It is especially the fact that everything is in a
single place that makes me a fan of stackoverflow.
The stackoverflow search options are excelent. Thanks to tags for gis,
postgis, openlayers and others; finding questions or answers in my
fields of interest is easy.
It would in my opinion, be better to move us "GIS folks" into the crowd
of "regular" programmers and IT specialists. We might learn from them
and they from us.
Integrate, don't seperate is my personal advice. Please don't feel
offended, it is just the way I look at this.
Kind regards,
Milo van der Linden

Hi !
I just want to add something : if you have some time after
subscription, feel free to vote for the question if you think they are
on-topic or off-topic. We need users AND clearly identified on-topic
and off-topic questions.
I think the idea is great. Thanks for it, George :-) Sites promoted by
stack exchange are nice, and are a good place to share infos. I've
been saved sometimes by stack overflow and server fault ^_^
Greetings,
Agemen.
