I had this question myself:

As detailed on the official blog, the Stack Overflow trilogy includes the first three projects:

  1. StackOverflow.com for programmers
  2. ServerFault.com for sys admins and support specialists
  3. SuperUser.com for computer enthusiasts and power usrs

Their successes spawned the implementation of the StackExchange.com network with the multitude of Q&A websites you see today.

    Trilogy is also mentioned in the Stack Exchange Glossary.

  • Better to say the success of SO spawned the network. ServerFault is about 1.5% of the size and 1% of the activity of SO. Most of that is just spillover from SO.
