The first piece of Stack Exchange 2.0 has come out of private beta, see Stack Exchange Area 51 Sneak Peek. The current state could be called semi-private beta.

Shortly after this event a new site was proposed:

English Language

Proposed Q&A site for linguists and (serious) English language enthusiasts

Independent of the future of this site I encourage you to jump in now and influence what kind of site it will be. This can be done by submitting example questions, vote on example questions for being on-topic or off-topic and by participation in the discussion for each example question and the site as a whole.

Read Stack Exchange Area 51 Sneak Peek (including the FAQ) and then open http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/1269.

Sidenote: the future of this site depends on the traffic levels and whether we can keep it up. But the traffic level threshold level has not been decided yet, as far as I can gather.

What are your thoughts about this new site?
