If this site is only for people teaching computer science, there would be an extremely small audience. This should be expanded to include people learning code at school.
Proposal: Computer Science Educators

Schools teach computer science too...– RoryJan 1, 2016 at 21:25

@Rory Yes, but the way this site is phrased makes it look like it's only for the teachers. It should be for the students, too.– Elliot A.Jan 1, 2016 at 21:56

@Elliot - I imagine most of the students would ask questions that could be asked on Stack Overflow (e.g., I go so-and-so error message, now what?). CS educators would have a entirely different set of questions hence this proposal.
Regarding the audience size - educators can include coding bootcamp instructors, parents, and even people teaching themselves (e.g., where can I find Java self-study material?). And given the number of schools which are starting to launch CS classes, I imagine the audience may start small- to medium-sized but have an incredible growth rate. We should set-up this community in anticipation of this growth.

1"where can I find Java self-study material" is a horrible question since it is answerable by Google alone.– RaphaelJun 12, 2016 at 10:57
