UI.StackExchange

I’ve been visiting ui.stackexchange.com recently as a resource for ui/ux information. It’s a network within Stackexchange, a community powered Q&A hub that allows members to ask, answer, and rate. Here’s what I grabbed from their wiki:
The websites feature the ability for users to ask and answer questions, and through membership and active participation, to vote questions and answers up or down and edit questions and answers in a wiki fashion. Users can earn reputation points and “badges” through site participation; for example, a user is awarded 10 reputation points for receiving an “up” vote on an answer given to a question, and can receive badges for their valued contributions. By collecting reputation points, users are given more and more permissions, ranging from the ability to vote and comment on questions and answers to the ability to moderate many aspects of the site.
There have been some pretty good topics posted (284 as of today), but as with any great site, content is king, so once the community grows, it’ll be a great spot to gain some community insight.
