I am writing to seek your help in building a community driven Q&A website tentatively called called ‘Statistics Analysis’. I am neither a founder of this website nor do I have any financial stake in its success.

By way of background to this website, please see Stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/) and Mathoverflow (http://mathoverflow.net/). Stackoverflow is a Q&A website targeted at software developers and is designed to help them ask questions and get answers from other developers. Mathoverflow is a Q&A website targeted at research mathematicians and is designed to help them ask and answer questions from other mathematicians across the world. The success of both these sites in helping their respective communities is a strong indicator that sites designed along these lines are very useful.

The company that runs Stackoverflow (who also host Mathoverflow.net) has recently decided to develop other community driven websites for various other topic areas including statistics. Given the number of emails you get seeking help with statistics related questions and given the volume of help messages at various stats forums, I think a community driven statistics Q&A website would be very helpful. I have provided a link if you wish to explore the ‘Statistics Analysis’ Q&A website which is currently in the process of being developed. And here it is.

I haven’t had a chance to look at this; just passing it on to anyone who might be interested.
