State of the Deep Web Stack Exchange site

Stack Exchange's Deep Web site has been in private beta for 12 days now. Statistics-wise, we're doing fairly well. At the moment, we have 147 questions, 97% of which are answered. That's an average of 11.5 questions per day. Of the 446 registered users, 25 have more than 200 reputation. It looks like we're doing fine compared to other new beta sites. "Looks like", anyway.

A current issue for us is a need for unique expert-level content. Many of our questions, though interesting, are beginner-level. Fortunately, there are certainly some more technical ones as well. Some of those are about Tor, which already has its own Stack Exchange site. We do also have many non-Tor questions, and I hope we get more.

To help with that, I've e-mailed the Freenet and I2P teams, inviting them to join the site. Getting people who actually develop these technologies would be an excellent asset for the site, and would also be very beneficial to those projects as well (exposure and availability of information).

If you want to get involved, click the "Visit the site now!" link on the site's Area 51 page.
