The [new beta Stack Exchange site](http://edx-cs169-1x.stackexchange.com/) for students of [UC Berkley's edX CS169.1x Engineering Software as a Service course](https://www.edx.org/course/uc-berkeleyx/uc-berkeleyx-cs169-1x-engineering-1377#.U1IUdeZdXEo) is now active. However, it is still not listed in the sites list on StackExchange.com, and the sidebar still appears to indicate that it's as a private beta, though it's actually publicly accessible.

Students are linked to this site by the "Discussion" tab when they're viewing the course materials, and from the course introduction.

> We'll post updates to this "Course Info" page as we go along, however, our primary communication channel will be our [interactive forum](http://edx-cs169-1x.stackexchange.com/), where we’ll all contribute to an ongoing discussion of the material. 

The site supports edX as a new login provider:

Registration on the site also requires acceptance of a modification to the typical privacy policy: information entered on the site may also be shared with edX.
