Human society and cultural news, studies, and other things of that nature. From linguistics to philosophy to religion to anthropology, if it's an academic discipline you can most likely put it here.

My original request is here and I am thankful for those that have started the testing process. However, the developer isn't comfortable (and neither am I) coming out of beta testing until we've had a little more activity using the site.

This project is not affiliated, in any way, with religious traditions. This is an academic endeavor that deals with textual criticism under the larger umbrella of humanities.

I'm seeing expertise outside the Abrhamic traditions demonstrated in there (e.g., Greek mythology). Any reason why the site seems focused primarily on biblical scholarship, rather than world religions more broadly?

If I can think of a question I'll contribute, I just don't have anything atm.

It is a niche subject area that I've been actively involved with for a very long time -> academic biblical scholarship. World religions is fascinating/interesting but it falls way outside of my expertise and involvement.

If I can think of a question I’ll contribute, I just don’t have anything atm.

OK. Thank you. I appreciate it.
