Jeff Attwood and Joel Spolsky started a new initiative called stackoverflow.com. The conceptual idea is for developers to record a question and upload it to the site, and have someone record the answer and respond to these questions. Jeff and Joel will also be recording a weekly phone call between them on various development topics. Both of them quite deeply describe the birth of the idea on their blogs, with Jeff blogging about it here about a week ago and more recently Joel on his blog here. I commend both of these guys for a brilliant idea. I do believe that the gap between developers worldwide is closing dramatically because of the Internet, and I would love to see more free developer resources and ideas coming to light and actually get launched. You can download there first "podcast" from the site, both as an MP3 or RAR.

For every one who uses or follow the SubText project, the development mailing list has been extremely active for the last few days as they are preparing the next release of SubText. From the list mentioned in the mailing list this will be a very nice feature filled release and definitely worth waiting for. I extensively use SubText to run both Diago.co.za and HoneyB.co.za and I am looking forward to implementing the next version. Phil Haack recently joined Microsoft and is part of the MVC team, and talk of the next version of SubText being MVC based is also high on the agenda at the moment. Something definitely worth getting involved in.
