Stack Overflow : a new site for programming Q&A.

[Mark Smith]

Personally, I still prefer 'transcript' (I think that's what it was  
called when I first encountered it), but surely the point is that it  
is <actually> called "revolution".

In the context of deciding what to call it for the purposes of  
inclusion in sites like stackoverflow, it really won't help if we all  
just call it whatever we like.

Best,

Mark
