(2008-05-15) Stack Overflow Spolsky Atwood

Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood are collaborating on building Stack Overflow, a Virtual Community for developers.

Jeff intends to use HTML rather than SmartAscii or a GUI editor. (I think he's going to auto-insert paragraph tags from double-returns, but that's it.) Some commenters note that Mark Down is supposed to let HTML through. Also note his intended audience is programmers, so he feels comfortable putting a little more work on him.
