I think this is actually a pretty good idea and StackExchange is a
great platform.
As of right now it needs 11 more people following it (and more
questions).
It might be good to adjust it to include more than just "micro"
computers...
Good idea, but it's not up to me - I didn't create the proposed SE
section. :)
Interesting. But it is a bit of a mystery to me. I went to the site, created an
account, logged in, "followed" the retro-computing discussion, searched in
vain for the "discuss proposed discussion" button, tried the general 'ask
a
question' tab, but it seems to believe that I am not logged in.
I happily participate in a retro-computing discussions, but my knowledge
base is mainframe computing, so between the alienation in the discussion
definition, and the site's apparent inability to let me discuss that alienation
with the creators, it looks like Area51 is non-starter for me.

Whats wrong with the existing Vintage Computing Forums. To me its yet another place to
have to go and look and so disappating expertise in many other places..
