Since the start of Hacks/Hackers in 2009, we’ve heard from lots of people interested in the ways journalists and developers can help each other push what’s possible at the intersection of news and technology.

So we’re very pleased to kick off 2012 with the new version of Help by Hacks/Hackers, a forum for you to ask and answer any practical, forward-looking, and philosophical questions about news and media work.

To get started, log in. If you had an account on the old Help By site and need to reset your password, do so here. And if you have any technical problems with the site, email us at HelpBy [at] hackshackers.com.

A big thank you goes to Ben Balter for porting the data and setting things up on the backend.

Happy New Year everyone!
