I tend to lurk on code4lib and got a little behind. I'd be interested
in participating in a clone of Stack Exchange, if one existed that

After my experiences with the Digital Preservation and LIS stack exchanges I am

I tried really hard to participate in and help seed the SE site, but I
really didn't have any questions in the way that SE would have liked, so
