| Jul 3, 2013 at 13:15 | comment | added | user9072 | @JohnMangual: though this is not much done on this site, and might or might not cause some opposition if it were done, yet is endoresed by general SE-philosophy, the correct way to do this on SE-sites is to still ask a question and then also provide an answer. | |

| Jul 2, 2013 at 19:01 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @John: I suppose that if one treats this like a seminar with guest lecturers it could be nice. Someone writes a post, then someone else writes one, perhaps someone writes two posts on a slightly larger topic. If those topics are accessible enough, and interesting then it could be fun. But in order to succeed in the task of maintaining such "seminar" you would need quite a large user base that have actively agreed to participate. That would be a very nice, but very difficult as well. | |
| Jul 2, 2013 at 18:58 | comment | added | john mangual | @YemonChoi This is not a suggestion or recommendation. This is an observation of what is already happening. People are finding creative ways to fit their thoughts into MO's tightly-regulated Q&A format. Perhaps Wordpress and Wikipedia are sufficient. | |

| Jul 2, 2013 at 18:04 | comment | added | user9072 | @JohnMangual: what is the merit of doing this on a Q&A site? AFAIK various blogs support math-content just fine. There is the n-Lab, too. There is Wikipedia. There is Planet Math. There are many things to write some mathematics somewhere on the internet. If you do not want to ask a question why would you want to do so on a Q&A site. | |
