QUNU

I feel that open source methods are the logical outcome of an educated society. The benefits of open source software are amazing. Recently I was was able to identify a new bug, chat with a developer on freenode and download a cvs copy complete with bug-fix in less than 30 minutes. Try that with any version of closed source software!
QUNU takes these ideas to a new level. QUNU links experts in subject areas to a database. Users of QUNU can search on a topic and initiate an online chat on that subject to solve routine problems. If you have expertise in a given area, please contribute to the community by registration and offer your help also. Even as a "user" you can help people in need by being available for a brief online chat when they have problems.
This community driven effort is exactly what works well online! Try it out today; http://www.qunu.com/ "live help when you need it most"

Sounds interesting. I hope to use this more for learning and dissemination.
