BioStar, the StackOverflow for bioinformaticians

If you are a programmer you may already know StackOverflow, which is a forum-like website dedicated to questions about computer science with a innovative design and a very active community, and probably the best place on Internet where to ask when you have doubts related to programming.
Thanks to a recent post on the biopython-dev mailingl list, I discovered that it is possible to create websites with the same engine used by StackOverflow, and personalize them on a specific topic: for example, this blog and this site list all the StackExchange-like websites, ranging from mathematics to electronics, to business.
So, there is also a StackExchange website dedicated to bioinformatics, and lately I have been using it: its name is BioStar:

So, if you have a question on bioinformatics, whether specific or general, you may ask it there… If we can create a community similar to the StackOverflow for bioinformatics, it will be a very good resource for everyone.
one of the best forum-like websites dedicated to programmers, probably the most efficent place where to ask a question related to computer science
