After realizing I could learn more about Stack Exchange, I started googling "Stack Exchange Guide", so I could learn more about the different Stack Exchange sites and start branching out my questions from Stack Overflow.

In the process, I found this WikiBook: The Stack Exchange User Guide

The author is "benonsoftware", but I am not sure if there's a connection.

I wanted to see if it's legitimate and/or there will be more to come in the future? I think this is a cool idea whether Stack Exchange created or user-created.

    What do you mean by "legitimate"?

  • By legit, is it either a StackExchange-backed project or is it a WikiBook with solid users behind it who intend to finish and maintain it. My bad if it wasn't clear enough. Jan 6, 2012 at 0:32

    If you're looking for other sources of information, the blog and Community FAQ have tons of information... Jan 6, 2012 at 0:55
  • @KevinVermeer very helpful indeed, although I realized that more and more sites like "Super User" and "IT Security" are popping up, but there's not much material to help a n00b learn about them or if their question is better suited with them. Jan 6, 2012 at 1:03

It's not an official project, but was started by George Edison, who definitely is a solid Meta/SO user. However, I don't think the project gained enough momentum - it's a year old with no visible activity.

    Thanks for crediting me! Yeah, I started that a loooong time back as a beginner's guide. I'm glad it's starting to turn up in search results now. Jan 6, 2012 at 1:42
