Application for Russian StackOverflow has moved to the Commitment stage
Some time ago in Area51 an application was submitted for the opening of the StackOverflow community in Russian. The application successfully passed the Definition stage (defining the subject of the future community) and moved to the Commitment stage (subscription to participate in a closed and open beta).

When you create a new resource, you should always keep in mind its relevance. Who and why needs Russian StackOverflow, what benefits will it bring?
Today, about 8,000 questions are asked daily at StackOverflow. The total number of questions is more than 5,000,000 (more than the number of articles in the English section of Wikipedia). But despite the fact that the site language is English, for many visitors it is not native.
Any working programmer must speak English, otherwise he will not be able to 1) communicate with colleagues from other centers (many companies have branches throughout the world), 2) read English literature in original (most reference books, manuals and specifications are only available in English) 3) travel on business trips (for employees of many companies, this is a common thing). Therefore, using the website in English is not only burdensome for the programmer, but also useful.
But there are categories of users for whom the site in English is still inaccessible: these are university students and novice programmers. While they had not yet mastered English, they would have been helped by a developed Russian-speaking community of specialists. There were attempts to create something similar to StackOverflow (there is open source software for creating clones ), but they did not gain popularity and authority, even remotely comparable to the original.
Therefore, the development of the Russian community on the original platform StackOverflow will bring its benefits. It will not only collect users from all obsolete or unpromising resources, but over time will create an open database of programming questions in Russian as a result of community activities (user-generated content is available on StackExchange under the cc-wiki license). In addition, the creation of a platform in Russian on StackExchange will help not only programmers, it will open the way for new communities in Russian.
To go to the stage of Private Beta (closed testing), it remains a bit. Colleagues, connect , your contribution will be decisive!
